As California continues to burn, looters are taking advantage of the chaos to burglarize people’s homes. The LAPD has arrested 30 people on looting charges so far — with one particularly abhorrent criminal having gone so far as to dress up as a firefighter as part of a thievery scheme. It sounds like some villain plot straight out of a movie or video game… California is in total chaos. Here’s what’s being reported: LA THIEVES HIT NEW LOW: FAKE FIREFIGHTER CAUGHT LOOTING LAPD nabbed 29 suspects during fire evacuations, including one wearing stolen firefighter gear. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna: “I saw a gentleman that looked like a firefighter… We just caught him… pic.twitter.com/oetKFNeZFm — Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) January 13, 2025 Unbelievable. Thieves are dressing up as fire fighters to burglarize abandoned homes. Nearly 30 have been arrested so far. Throw the book at these despicable humans. Name and shame them. There must be ZERO tolerance. Hard to imagine a punishment too harsh. pic.twitter.com/7Mz5uVK13I — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) January 12, 2025 Man dressed as firefighter caught burglarizing home in Malibu area, officials say pic.twitter.com/rLQNS2tkcB — LEXIT (@LexitMovement1) January 12, 2025 The New York Post reported: Arrests are soaring in fire-ravaged Los Angeles County, mainly for looting — with one guy caught dressed as a firefighter while stealing from a home — prompting more National Guard reinforcements. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna confirmed at least 29 arrests Sunday. While many of the busts were for looting, at least two involved people breaking curfew near Veep Kamala Harris’s home in the tony LA enclave of Brentwood on Saturday morning, authorities said. A few days earlier, on Wednesday, Harris aide Ernie Apreza tweeted, “Last night, the Vice President’s neighborhood in Los Angeles was put under an evacuation order. No one was in her home at the time. She and the Second Gentleman are praying for the safety of their fellow Californians, the heroic first responders, and Secret Service personnel.”Twenty-five people have been arrested in the Eaton Fire area so far, while four were busted in the Palisades Fire region, Luna told reporters. One of the arrests involved a suspect dressed as a firefighter while burglarizing a home, Luna said. Fox News added: Approximately 29 people have been arrested in Los Angeles so far in connection to criminal activity related to the ongoing wildfires, including a burglary suspect who allegedly attempted to disguise himself as a firefighter, officials said Sunday. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said 25 of those arrested were in the area of the Eaton Fire, while four others came from the Palisades Fire evacuated zone. “When I was out there in the Malibu area, I saw a gentleman that looked like a firefighter. And I asked him if he was okay because he was sitting down. I didn’t realize we had him in handcuffs,” Luna recalled to reporters. “We are turning him over to LAPD because he was dressed like a fireman, and he was not. He just got caught burglarizing a home. So those are issues that our front line deputies and police officers are dealing with.” Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonald said one person was arrested Saturday night for violating a curfew order in the city, and three others were arrested the night before in connection to an alleged burglary.
