Two men who reportedly led police on pursuits as they tried to evade arrest in separate incidents including one that started with stolen mail have been charged with felonies.
In one case, what became a four-month investigation began in late December with mail theft in the Santa Rosa Valley, the Ventura County Sheriff s Office reported. Detectives from the agency s Moorpark station looked into several cases of mail getting stolen from residents. Two additional mail thefts gave authorities a lead: a man in his 40s driving an older-model black Jaguar sedan.
“We’re absolutely thrilled, Kracke said. The city fought us every step of the way. Let’s hope city leaders finally accept the fact that short-term vacation rentals are a permissible use in the coastal zone. Now is their prime opportunity to draft fair regulation rather than continue to waste taxpayer money and seek review by the California Supreme Court.”
City Attorney Ariel Calonne did not respond to Noozhawk on Tuesday.
Kracke’s lawsuit alleged that Santa Barbara’s 2015 ban on short-term vacation rentals was illegal and a violation of the California Coastal Act, which requires that the general public must have affordable accommodations within and access to the coastal zone.
