On Friday afternoon, Santa Barbara resident Edgar Aguilar, 27, attempted to make a delivery in the 900 block of S. Wells Road when two men entered his vehicle, physically assaulted him and demanded his property, including all of the marijuana he was transporting.
The thieves fled in a small dark car. However, officers spotted the vehicle and tried to stop it. The suspects briefly evaded police before being stopped in the 700 block of Springfield Avenue.
Police searched the car and found stolen marijuana and the victim’s property. They arrested Oxnard residents Deondre Vines, 18; Treyvon Williams, 19; and Malikk Williams, 18. Moorpark resident Nicholas Jones, 19, was also arrested.
Officers charged Vines, Jones and Malikk Williams with robbery and conspiracy. Treyvon Williams was charged with possession of stolen property.
Police later obtained a search warrant for a home on Providence Avenue and recovered more stolen property.
A detective said a similar incident occurred in May when a medical marijuana deliverer was robbed at gunpoint of money and marijuana.
