Ventura County Sheriff’s Department Informed Fillmore Unified Today Suspicious Subject Approached FUSD Student Walking Home From School [Police Request Public Assistance]

Dear Families, 

Good evening. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department informed the district of a report filed today regarding a suspicious subject who approached a FUSD student while he was walking home from school on February 8, 2022. 

On Tuesday, February 8th, at about 5:20 PM, a 15-year-old boy was walking home from school when he was approached by a male suspect who was driving a white older 80’s model Toyota Sport Utility Vehicle. The suspect attempted to lure the juvenile into his vehicle on Ventura Street near Mountain View Street in the city of Fillmore. The juvenile did not comply with the suspect, instead he said he was going to call the police, the suspect drove away from the juvenile, eastbound on Ventura Street. 

All schools will have staff members visibly posted outside of each school site. It’s important to remind your children of important safety habits and “Stranger Danger.” Children walking to and from school should be aware of their surroundings and walk home with a friend, if possible. If they see something that is unusual, they should immediately report it to an adult, either a school staff member, or to the police. If your child reports something to you, report it to a school staff member, or the police. 

Please see attached to this post the full press release by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department.

Thank you for your support. Let’s keep working together to keep our students safe.

Thank you,
Christine Schieferle, Superintendent
Fillmore Unified School District
