Looting has been a major problem amid the massive destruction from the recent L.A. wildfires … but firefighters were able stop some suspects — and it was caught on camera!
Firefighters were working a mostly destroyed Altadena neighborhood from the Eaton blaze on Thursday when they came across two people they suspected were up to no good … and their hunch led to arrests.
In video obtained by Fox 11’s Matthew Seerorff … firefighters confront a female suspect carrying items out of a burned-down house, which included an Emmy and a Sharp Award with the rightful — unidentified — owner’s name on them.
The suspect told firefighters the items were hers and she was trying to protect the area … before she and the other suspect looked like they were going to try and take off.

Needless to say … the firefighters did not let that happen — and the suspects were arrested a short time later.
A slew of suspects have been arrested in the days since the L.A. wildfires … and law enforcement has made it clear anyone bold enough to try it will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
