11 Arrested In North County Warrant Sweep

OCEANSIDE, CA – Eleven adults were arrested during a warrant sweep Saturday in the North County, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. The sweep targeted the North County Transit District's Sprinter and adjacent property.

Deputies from the Sheriff's Court Services Bureau and Railroad Enforcement Unit fanned out across Oceanside and Vista beginning at 6 a.m., Lt. Michael Rand said.

"The focus of the operation was the apprehension of suspects with outstanding warrants," Rand said.

A total of 11 adults were arrested for warrants and 14 warrants were cleared, Rand said. Additionally, there were two arrests for public intoxication on NCTD property.

"Over the past several months, the San Diego Sheriff's Department has increased its efforts in the apprehension of wanted subjects and will continue to do so," Rand said.

Officials encouraged people with outstanding warrants to turn themselves in between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at any one of the sheriff's court facilities.
