KFI a.m. 640. You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the IHeart Radio app.

All right. We're listening to Nathan Hockman, give the latest information on the wildfires in Los Angeles.

To keep us safe and secure during these tragic times with over 200,000 Angelinos cooperating with evacuation orders in order to make sure that they get out of harm's way,

but allow firefighters and first responders and law enforcement do their business.

There have been certain people that we have given a warning to because we anticipated that this was going to happen.

And these are the criminals. These are the people who are seeking to exploit this tragedy for

their own benefit. These are people who have engaged in looting arson. We've also investigated

price gouging. We'll be investigating internet scams and the like.

Today we're here to announce that the promise that we made when we started this,

that these criminals would be arrested, they would be prosecuted, and they will be maximally punished,

is a promise we are keeping.

As we announced today, the charges being filed on 10 different individuals,

nine of them for looting in both the palisades and the Eden fires,

and one for arson.

In arson, by the way, not connected with the origination of the major fires,

but an arson that occurred in Azusa. These felony charges are the result of a multi-agency

collaboration. There's been nothing short of incredibly impressive to be able to bring these

charges this quickly.

This collaboration includes the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the Los

Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles County Fire Arson Unit, the U.S. Attorney's Office,

the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosions, the ATF,

Los Angeles City Attorney's Office, and all our related cities that you'll hear about
