     The Ventura County Sheriff's Major Crimes Bureau was searching for the burglary suspects who used a vehicle to injure a deputy early Wednesday morning.

     The deputy had responded to a report of a "burglary in progress" at the Casitas Market in the 8600 block of North Ventura Avenue in Casitas Springs around 4:40 AM.

      The suspects were last seen fleeing the area in two vehicles, a light-colored SUV and a dark-colored sedan.

     The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office is requesting assistance from the public regarding this ongoing investigation.
