As the wildfires continue in the Los Angeles area, the flames are inching toward Brentwood, home to many celebrities and the neighborhood where Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff have a residence. Although the area is subject to curfew hours presently, two men dressed in black were reported to be on her property in the early morning hours.
I can't imagine what they were doing there.
Police confirmed to KTLA that officers detained two people at Vice President Kamala Harris’ home in Brentwood during curfew hours on Saturday.
The Los Angeles Police Department said a call came into the West L.A. station around 4:40 a.m., reporting a potential burglary on the Vice President’s property.
Officers responded to the residence located on Bundy Drive, north of Sunset Drive, and found two individuals on the property.
Some reports said the subjects were two men dressed all in black, but that detail has yet to be confirmed by police.
LAPD said officers detained the two people who were breaking curfew, but have since released them as they found no evidence that they were committing a crime.
Our friends at our sister site Twitchy noted the irony of the situation:
There have been numerous reports of looting, as ghouls take advantage of the tragedy.
Some of the looters are reportedly even getting creative:
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna confirmed the 29 arrests Sunday without specifying exactly how many were for looting, breaking curfew, or other violations. One of the arrests included a suspect dressed as a firefighter while burglarizing a home, Journalist Gigi Graciette wrote on X.

The California National Guard is helping to patrol affected neighborhoods:
National Guard members and local enforcement from the LAPD, Santa Monica Police and Airport Police Departments reminded residents that they will continue to patrol fire zones from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., ready to arrest anyone for trespassing, looting or any other type of violation.
In a rare bit of good news regarding this situation, voters kicked out soft-on-crime District Attorney George Gascón in November and replaced him with Nate Hochman, who’s vowed to take a tough stand against looters.
