(KRON) -- A man dressed up as a firefighter in an attempt to burglarize evacuated residences in the Malibu area was arrested on Saturday, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. In an effort to inform the community the sheriff’s department chief Robert Luna held a press conference. “When I was out there in the Malibu area, I saw a gentleman that looked like a firefighter, and I asked him if he was okay because he was sitting down. I didn't realize we had him in handcuffs,” said Luna. “We were turning them over to LAPD because he was dressed like a fireman, and he was not. He just got caught burglarizing a home.” 16 dead, 16 missing as fire crews try to corral Los Angeles blazes before winds return this week The Los Angeles Sheriff’s County chief said there was one arrest in the Palisades area for curfew violation on Saturday.
