“You’re going to be caught, you’re going to be arrested, and you’re going to be prosecuted,” Sheriff Luna said at a news conference.
The sheriff of Los Angeles County has issued a stern warning to looters who are exploiting the unprecedented California wildfires to commit crimes, vowing to make arrests and pursue prosecutions. Authorities have reported at least two arrests have been made thus far. Sheriff Robert Luna condemned the looters taking advantage of abandoned homes during a Wednesday press briefing.
“It’s always sad when I have to say this, but part of our responsibility is to make sure nobody loots or steals from our community members who are already being impacted,” Luna said at a news conference. “I’m sad to report, we’ve made two arrests this morning for looting already. So if you are thinking about coming into any of these areas to steal from our residents, I’m going to tell you something. You’re going to be caught, you’re going to be arrested, and you’re going to be prosecuted.”
Sheriff Luna demanded people “stay out of [impacted] areas,” explaining “it’s only for emergency workers and people who live here.”
