Los Angeles fires

The Los Angeles wildfire has left an apocalyptic scene, as ten people have lost their lives and thousands of acres of land and homes have been reduced to ashes. Experts warn that the fire will not go out unless the weather changes, but in the midst of all this tragic situation, a disturbing phenomenon has emerged, as there are those who are looting the ruins and abandoned homes.

According to media reports, looters are entering homes and stealing everything in sight. As of yesterday, 20 arrests had been made by authorities, but the looters are far more numerous, and it is worth noting that hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes.

As Newsweek reports, California National Guard troops are participating in the operation against robbers who are looting homes.

"California National Guard military police arrived at Ontario International Airport to assist with law enforcement," wrote the Osint Defender in 'X'.

It is currently unclear how long the National Guard and other security forces will remain in Los Angeles, but residents are afraid to leave their homes.

Los Angeles resident Alison Agsten told local news station KTLA: "We're seeing cars parking in front of houses and men running around looting houses."

Madisen Keavy, a reporter for KCAL, also said: "From the cameras we saw three men on scooters trying to enter the house, but they immediately turned around when they saw the police."

According to the Daily Mail, the wealthy in Los Angeles have also hired private security companies to protect their homes, while authorities declared a curfew to control the wave of robberies.

Specifically, according to the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna announced several measures on Thursday to increase safety in areas that have been evacuated due to the devastating fires.

“The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has officially requested the assistance of the California National Guard for both fires,” Luna said. The sheriff also said the agency is working to implement a curfew that will be in effect from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. The curfew will definitely be in effect through Friday night, according to the sheriff.

Anyone caught violating the curfew could face a fine of up to $1,000 or up to six months in prison.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said the curfew was not done to punish residents, but to keep the area safe as requested by the Altadena City Council.

She also said authorities arrested people in areas that have been evacuated. "Shame on those who are exploiting our residents in this time of crisis," she stressed.
