Thousand Oaks deputies arrested Jonathan Hunt, 19, of Thousand Oaks on Aug. 25 after Ventura County probation officers reportedly discovered a large quantity of stolen property in Hunt’s apartment during a routine probation search.

The items recovered include portable GPS units, iPods and other portable electronics. Deputies seized more than 50 items from Hunt’s apartment.

Hunt was already on probation for commercial burglary, and his probation terms allow law enforcement officers to search his property without a search warrant or probable cause.

Hunt told investigators that he steals mostly from unlocked cars and took responsibility for at least 20 such thefts. Hunt said he walks through neighborhoods at night doing “door pulls,” tugging on door handles to find unlocked cars, and then taking valuables from inside the unsecured vehicles.

Hunt is being held at the PreTrial Detention Facility in Ventura on a single count of receiving stolen property. His bail has been set at $20,000.
