“Distinctive clothing” gave away the man who broke into the Administrative Building at the Ventura County Fairgrounds on Monday, police said.
The break-in at the fairgrounds, 10 W. Harbor Blvd., occurred just after 11:30 p.m. and was detected by a motion alarm, the Ventura Police Department said in a news release.
Officers responded to the scene and found a window had been smashed with a rock, with the office inside “ransacked.”
Other offices had also been entered by the culprit, and “it also appeared that the suspect had attempted to gain access to a computer in one of the offices,” police said.
“No items of significance were taken from the building,” police added.
While reviewing security camera footage on Tuesday, a detective “was able to identify distinctive clothing worn by the suspect,” and a man with similar clothing was spotted walking near Thompson Boulevard and Chestnut Street later that day.
That man, Terrell Gregory, was “confirmed to be the person that burglarized the fairgrounds office building,” police said.
Police said Gregory is 29 years old, though jail records indicate that he’s 31.
He faces charges of felony commercial burglary and misdemeanor resisting a police officer.
He’s being held at the Ventura County Main Jail in lieu of $35,000 bail, and he’s due to appear in Ventura County Superior Court on Thursday.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 805-650-8010.
