Our Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) deputies are on 2400 block W. Sonoma Ave in Stockton at a house related to the suspect we arrested last night on Ryde Ave & Alpine Ave. We have asked the FBI's assistance to help search the home and take inventory of items that may be dangerous. As an extra precaution, we sent deputies to the houses in a vulnerable area, around our crime scene, and asked them to evacuate. We are asking the public to stay out of the area until we clear the home.

Sexual predator arrested Thanks to the help of our community members, after a lengthy investigation, a search warrant was served today at the 1900 block of 9th Street in Stockton. A well-known member within the Hispanic community for his gift of massage (despite not having any schooling in the matter) Emiliano Canada-Vargas, 53, was arrested for several felonies including forcible rape and sexual assault.... At this time we have several victims that were very brave to come forward. However, Canada-Vargas has been in this business for approximately 30 years and people come to see him from all over. We believe there may be other victims. If you or someone you know has been a victim of his, we ask that you contact Detective Arreola at 209-468-4425 or 209-468-4443. You can remain anonymous. **Help us by getting the word out and sharing this post. ***************SPANISH********** Depredador sexual arrestado Gracias a la ayuda de los miembros de nuestra comunidad, después de una larga investigación, hoy se cumplió una orden de busqueda en el bloque 1900 de la calle 9 en Stockton.

En este momento tenemos varias víctimas que fueron muy valientes de presentar cargos contra Canadá-Vargas.
