A group of Los Angeles residents confronted and apprehended a man they believe may be an arsonist responsible for setting one of multiple wildfires in Southern California, video shows. Los Angeles police have a man in custody after a group of good Samaritans grabbed him near the Kenneth Fire, allegedly carrying a blowtorch, according to video from FOX 11 Los Angeles. The video shows a man who appears to be holding a torch head and a yellow fuel tank.
Today, at 4:32 p.m., a radio call was generated on the 21700 block of Ybarra Road for a possible arson suspect. A male was heard stating a suspect was ‘attempting to light a fire,'' an LAPD spokesman told Fox News. 'The suspect is in custody and was transported to Topanga Station. We are continuing our investigation, and we CANNOT confirm any connection to any fire by this suspect at this time.
The Palisades fire in particular has impacted Hollywood stars and their neighbors – prime targets for looters looking to steal from homes after their owners have evacuated. While authorities have poured water on some celebrity-spread arson theories, authorities have made at least 20 arrests for looting across the county as residents struggle to hire private security firms to protect their homes.
