Police are searching for a man who broke into and robbed a Taco Bell restaurant early Tuesday.
Officers said the restaurant, in the 900 block of North Ventura Road, had just closed at 12:30 a.m. and several employees were still inside when a man wearing a skeleton mask and wielding a crowbar broke in, grabbed an undisclosed amount of money and fled on foot.
Anyone with information should call the Oxnard police at 385-7600.
In another incident Tuesday morning, officers arrested a man wanted in an attempted burglary.
According to police, Marcos Madrid, 22, of Oxnard was arrested after officers found him asleep in the driver’s seat of a vehicle he did not own. He was booked into Ventura County Jail in lieu of $30,000 bail and faces attempted burglary charges, as well as narcotics-related charges from past warrants.
Police said an officer found Madrid sleeping in the vehicle, parked in the 100 block of South Roosevelt Avenue, at 1:20 a.m. No property was missing.
“Believe it or not, it does happen once in awhile,” said David Keith, police community affairs manager.
