    LOS ANGELES (KTLA) – At least 20 people have been arrested for looting in
    the wildfire evacuation zones in metro Los Angeles this week, authorities revealed on Thursday.

    “Twenty individuals chose to go into our areas and deprive these poor
    people who have been through so much of their property,” L.A. County
    Sheriff Robert Luna told reporters at a morning news conference.

    No details about the arrests were released.

    The Palisades Fire, the most destructive in the city’s history, has
    destroyed thousands of structures in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu
    areas of L.A. County. In Pasadena and Altadena, the Eaton Fire has
    scorched over 10,000 acres and destroyed countless homes.

    As many as 300,000 residents are under mandatory evacuation orders and
    warnings between the two fires, leaving homes and businesses vulnerable.

    “These criminals need to hear an unmistakable message: that if you want to
    go ahead and loot, if you want to commit burglary, if you want to engage
    in grand theft … you will be arrested,” said District Attorney Nathan
    Hochman. “You will be prosecuted, and you will be punished to the full
    extent of the law.”

    Luna said he has directed deputies to increase enforcement within
    evacuation zones with roving patrols and hard road closures. Anyone caught within evacuated areas, Luna said, could face misdemeanor charges – or
    felony charges if they are caught looting.

    “If you are in one of these areas and you do not belong there, you are
    going to be subject to arrest,” Luna said. “Our first choice isn’t to do enforcement. It’s not to make arrests. It’s to help people.”

    The Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) recently released the identities
    of nearly a dozen attempted burglary suspects within Palisades Fire
    evacuation zones in Santa Monica, none of whom live in the town, police
    said.

    Six of the 10 suspects were in possession of "burglary tools," according
    to officials. All traveled to the disaster area from out of town.

    The department has arrested 39 people in evacuation zones since the start
    of the Palisades Fire, SMPD told Fox News.

    Those not charged with attempted burglary were picked up for curfew
    violations, drug possession, warrants, parole and probation violations and other charges.

    None of the 39 arrested are from Santa Monica, officials said.

    One of the burglary suspects, Joshua Kaliel Love, 29, ran from officers
    and was caught with a dagger, window-breaking tool, mask, gloves and
    narcotics, according to police. He was on probation at the time of his
    arrest.

    Two other burglary suspects, Dominic Pachecomanga, 18, and Miguel Angel Dorantes, 22, were traveling in a van without ID and had gloves, burglary tools, dark clothing, ski masks and large tote bags, officials said.

    Pachecomanga and Dorantes allegedly had the Watch Duty app, which tracks
    fire and evacuation zones, opened on their phones, according to police.

    Gabriel Isaih Stokes, 27, was arrested after a plate reader marked the car
    he was driving in Santa Monica as a stolen vehicle, according to the department. He was found with a stolen California ID, other fake IDs,
    burglary tools, a black beanie and ski mask and large bags, police said.

    Stokes was previously charged with burglary, robbery and grand theft,
    officials said.
