(Kron) A man dressed as a firefighter was arrested Saturday after trying to break into an evacuation home in the Malibu area, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Sheriff’s Department Chief Robert Luna held a press conference to inform the community.
“I was out in the Malibu area and I saw a gentleman who looked like a firefighter and I asked him if he was okay sitting down. I didn’t know he was handcuffed,” Luna said. “We were turning them over to the LAPD because he was dressed like a firefighter, but he wasn’t. He had just been arrested for a home invasion.”
