Santa Ana man arrested for allegedly taking upskirt videos of women
Irvine police arrested a 23-year-old man after Walmart security guards caught him allegedly recording a video up a woman's skirt. Investigators found hundreds of clips of different victims, dating back at least two years, in suspect Damian Bravo's phone after they arrested him last week, according to the Irvine Police Department. He has been booked on suspicion of invasion of privacy. He has been released after posting bail. Officers are hoping to identify and locate additional victims. "He's favored Walmart and Target," Officer Kyle Oldoerp said. Our concern is there are other victims who are unaware that this has occurred." The latest video was allegedly taken last week at the Walmart on Von Karman Avenue, according to police. "In these cases, we see they're being used for personal gratification in some cases," Oldoerp said. "They're trading them or posting them online or hosting websites—some of these hidden camera type videos. I'm not certain how he was using the videos but that's who we've seen them used in the past. Police have identified one victim so far. "It's absolutely troubling to us because there's a significant amount of victims on this man's phone," Oldoerp said. "We want to talk to those people. If anybody recognizes this guy or thinks they've been a victim of him, we want them to come forward and talk to detectives so we can add them to our case."

Marysville Police Department names its new police chief after former chief retired
The Marysville Police Department has named its next police chief following the retirement of Christian Sachs, which came weeks after an officer at the department was shot and killed while serving a search warrant. Vance Nabeta, who took over as the interim police chief when Sachs retired, will be sworn in as police chief on Tuesday. Nabeta's career began in 1993 with the Marsyville Police Department as a police officer. He's held roles at the Yuba City Police Department, the California Department of Justice and the San Bruno Police Department. He returned to Marysville as a retired annuitant detective. He later accepted a lieutenant role and came out of retirement to serve full-time. He's been serving as the interim police chief since April. "As Chief of Police, my goal is to serve our community with integrity, humility, and a commitment to excellence," Nabeta said in a statement. "I strive to meet the needs of both our department and our city, while fostering and developing the next generation of leaders who will carry our mission forward." When Sachs retired, he said the loss of officer Osmar Rodarte "shook me to my core." Rodarte was killed in March when he was serving a search warrant in a transnational drug trafficking operation.
