On 11/24/2010, Moorpark Deputies responded to the Moorpark Police Department to contact a female reporting her husband having been kidnapped at knifepoint. The female stated she had received a phone call from her husband who told her two males had entered his car and forced him to take them to a bank where they had withdrawn money using his ATM card. The suspects then dropped him off in a residential area in the City of Moorpark. The female then drove to Moorpark in an attempt to locate her husband.

At about 9:40 P.M. the victim, Aurelio Olvera was located uninjured in the area of Peach Hill and Mill Valley Road, Moorpark by deputies. Aurelio Olvera told deputies that he had gone to the Guadalajara Market in the City of Thousand Oaks to shop. Two male Hispanics, one with a handgun and one with a knife, confronted him as he exited his vehicle. The suspects forced Olvera into his vehicle and drove him to an unfamiliar bank, possibly in the City of Moorpark, where the suspects used Olvera’s ATM card to obtain an unknown amount of cash. The suspects then drove to the residential area off of Peach Hill where they dropped Olvera off and drove away with his vehicle. Olvera was able to contact a citizen in the area who allowed him to use his phone. Olvera called his wife who later called the police.

Thousand Oaks Detectives were called and the investigation is continuing.
