MAYOR ALBERT MENDEZ ADJOURNS TO THE NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING AT 6:30 P.M. ON TUESDAY MAY 26, 2026, CITY HALL, 250 CENTRAL AVENUE, FILLMORE, CA 93015.

During the month of April 2026, The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office Headquarters Detectives initiated an investigation into a group of individuals targeting Freightliner trucks in the unincorporated area of Ventura County commonly known as El Rio. The suspects would approach the vehicles during nighttime hours, break a window to gain entry, and steal the onboard Common Powertrain Controller (CPC) computers before fleeing the scene. These computers are essential for vehicle operation and cost approximately $3,300 to replace them, leaving victims unable to use their trucks until a replacement is installed and programmed.
Detectives learned that similar crimes had occurred in neighboring jurisdictions of the Oxnard Police Department and the Simi Valley Police Department. Through the investigation, detectives identified the suspects as Lenin Leyva and Ryann McMurtrey of Los Angeles.
On April 29, 2026, Headquarters Detectives located McMurtrey’s 2019 Jaguar in the 1400 block of East Harvard Boulevard in the city of Santa Paula. Detectives coordinated with the Fillmore Police Department and a traffic stop was conducted on the vehicle. Detectives responded to the scene and conducted a search of the vehicle, which resulted in the recovery of stolen CPC computers. The vehicle was subsequently seized as evidence.
Leyva and McMurtrey were booked into the Ventura County Main Jail for violations of Penal Code sections 459 - Burglary, 487(a) - Grand Theft, 594(b)(2) - Vandalism, 182(a)(1) - Conspiracy to Commit a Crime, and are being held in lieu of bail. Leyva is also currently on Post Release Community Supervision for a prior burglary conviction out of Los Angeles County.
