Local Claims “Like a Hundred People” Were Looting Affluent Neighborhood in LA – 20 Suspects Arrested as of Thursday Morning (VIDEO)

As wildfires sweep across Los Angeles County and residents flee their homes, some are using the opportunity to loot the neighborhoods and rob those who are already victims of the disaster.  

Nearly 180,000 have been forced out of their homes as at least five fires burn, destroying thousands of acres, per NBC.

One woman told local KTLA that she started seeing cars pulling up, opening the doors, and “groups of men running up our street,” which she initially thought were people trying to help with evacuations.
