APD Arrests Man Who Was Reportedly Taking Pictures Of Underage Girls

Police in Anderson are trying to figure out what sort of interest a man had in some little girls. Last Monday police were told that a man was taking photographs of one or more underage girls at the Factory Outlets Shopping Center. After investigating for a few days, Anderson Police and Sheriff’s Detectives arrived with warrants at the Bay Street home of 40-year-old Jose Ortiz Jr. Evidence was gathered and is being analyzed as the investigation continues. Anyone with information can share it at andersonpolice.org/tips. Ortiz is not currently listed as being in custody on the Shasta County Jail website.
