Police from across the Los Angeles region announced Wednesday the arrests of dozens of people on arson, burglary and looting charges stemming from the unrest of late May and early June that gripped cities including Long Beach, Santa Monica and L.A.
“I want to point out that many of these arrests are the direct result of tips and leads and our community stepping forward, including demonstrators — people who were lawfully and rightfully in our streets and witnessed acts of arson, attacks against police officers, attacks on other protesters, burglary and other crimes,” Moore said.
Officials did not have a total number of arrests across all agencies, but individual police chiefs provided figures. “They were carrying with them suitcases and large bags, indicating that they had planned this with a specific intent — not of engaging in protest activity.”
