In response to looting concerns following the Eaton fire in Altadena, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is ramping up patrols. They have established a Looter Suppression Team to offer enhanced surveillance and faster response times in neighborhoods that have been evacuated. With ongoing utility outages and security issues, the Sheriff's Department emphasizes the importance of a continuous law enforcement presence. Several arrests related to the fires have been made, including fraudulent impersonations. Although curfews remain in effect in some areas, local authorities are beginning to ease road closures and evacuation orders.
The newly formed Looter Suppression Team will provide more surveillance and a quicker response time to Altadena neighborhoods evacuated during the fire but potentially left unsecured by residents.
Together, these efforts ensure continuous 24-hour patrolling to provide a consistent and visible law enforcement presence, particularly in neighborhoods still dealing with utility outages and heightened security risks.
