Looting was a big problem given the massive destruction caused by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles… but firefighters were able to stop a few suspects – and the whole thing was caught on camera!
Firefighters were working in a mostly destroyed Altadena neighborhood Thursday when they came upon two people they suspected were up to no good through the Eaton fire… and their suspicions led to arrests.
In a video from Fox 11 Matthew Seerorff …Firefighters confront a suspect carrying items from a burned home, including an Emmy and a Sharp Award with the name of the rightful – unidentified – owner.
The suspect told firefighters that the items belonged to her and that she was trying to protect the area…before it looked like she and the other suspect were trying to run away.

Needless to say, the fire department didn't allow this to happen – and the suspects were arrested a short time later.
Numerous suspects have been arrested in the days since the LA wildfires… and law enforcement has made it clear that anyone brave enough to try will be punished severely.
