A Ventura mother’s early morning call to 911 led to the arrest of a man who police say tried to break into her home while completely nude and under the influence of drugs.
According to the Ventura Police Department, the incident happened around 3:38 a.m. on Oct. 17 in the 6200 block of Geneva Street. The 39-year-old woman told dispatchers she could hear someone attempting to open the restroom window of her home while she and her three children were inside.
Moments later, the suspect rang the family’s doorbell, authorities said. A Ventura Police dispatcher remained on the phone with the woman, advising her to stay away from the area where the suspect was trying to enter.
Officers arrived within minutes and found a man walking away from the home. He was identified as Gabriel Torres and was completely nude, according to police. Investigators said Torres appeared to be under the influence of drugs at the time of his arrest.
Evidence showed that Torres had removed the screen from the bathroom window and reached into the home, police said. He was taken into custody on suspicion of residential burglary and booked into the Ventura County Jail.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact the Ventura Police Department at 805-650-8010.
