3 youths nabbed after pursuit from Camarillo; sewage spill ends up in T.O. park
A vehicle pursuit that started in Camarillo ended with the arrest of three minors in Los Angeles County, authorities said.
A deputy with the Ventura County Sheriff's Office reportedly spotted a stolen Kia Sportage near Lewis Road in Camarillo just after midnight, said sheriff's Capt. Nick Odenath.
The driver failed to yield when the deputy initiated a traffic stop, instead driving onto southbound Highway 101, Odenath said.
The deputy continued the pursuit on the highway with additional authorities joining near Thousand Oaks, the captain said.
The Kia exited the highway at De Soto Avenue in Woodland Hills, finally stopping near Serrania Avenue and Wells Drive, he said.
Three juveniles exited the vehicle. They were taken into custoday and eventually turned over to their parents, Odenath said. The vehicle was towed from the site, he added.
A 250,000-gallon sewage spill in Thousand Oaks Friday made its way down a trail at Wildwood Regional Park and into North Fork Conejo Creek, authorities said.
The city of Thousand Oaks has since cleaned up debris on the trail and has started water quality testing, according to a news release Monday from Ventura County's Environmental Health Division.
Around 11:15 a.m. Friday, the sewage exited a sewer system maintenance hole near the cul-de-sac of Flaming Star Avenue and flowed into the park and down to the creek, authorities said.
The sewer line has since been cleared of debris.
Fifteen warning signs were posted throughout the park and are expected to stay up until at least Tuesday, the news release says. Residents are advised to avoid contact with the affected areas until the signs are removed.
