Rifleman threatens Olivenhain resident in bizarre mid-morning crime

10 News:
Sheriff's Deputies are on the lookout for the man who jumped out of the bushes and confronted an Encinitas man with a rifle.

The attack happened Friday morning on Fortuna Ranch Road when the victim was in his driveway. A neighbor tells 10News the man popped out of the bushes wearing a ski mask and camouflage clothing. He then pointed a rifle at the victim, threatening to rob or shoot him.

Deputies say, somehow, the victim was able to run to his neighbor's home and call 911. The gunman got away before law enforcement arrived, but it's unclear if he ran or drove away.
That's deep Olivenhain, and with only one way in and out by car, it's a horrible place to try to commit a random crime. You have to wonder if the perpetrator is the halfwit offspring of a neighbor.

  1. It may be deep Olivenhain, but there's more than one way to get out of that area by car. You can thank those wonderful folks at Shea Homes to make that route even easier!

    1. What’s Shea doing, paving the rutted dirt roads out to Elfin Forest?

  2. On the Wednesday Council agenda. Curbs and gutters for Rancho Santa Fe Rd. Speak up if you don't want that Village Park look.

    1. Curbs and gutters? Masih is gone, who is taking up his mantle? Nip that one in the bud if you don't want what I call that Costa Mesa look.

    2. Oh the humanity! A curb and gutter to provide some level of protection for vulnerable trail users directly next to fast-moving vehicles on the road??!! What an asinine concept, such madness!

  3. Council ordered the city manager to "create" all these street improvements. The city is on auto pilot. The only thing that will stop the Council is pitchforks and touches.

  4. WTF is going on with the City? RSF road improvements? This is so disappointing. CC has just lost touch with everyone about everything.

  5. "You have to wonder if the perpetrator is the halfwit offspring of a neighbor."

    1. No, "wonder" is the operative word - no "solve" involved.

      You'd never make a Sherlock, 9:13. No attention to detail.

  6. “Now”?

    We’ve been making unsupported speculations about Encinitas crimes for years!
