The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has arrested nearly 30 individuals in the areas devastated by the Palisades and Eaton fires, driven by concerns over looting, according to Sheriff Robert Luna. A curfew has been enforced from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. to curb theft and looting in these fire-affected zones, with violations potentially leading to misdemeanor charges and fines up to $1,000.
Sheriff Luna emphasized the department’s commitment to security in these evacuated neighborhoods, which are particularly vulnerable due to the absence of residents. The Sheriff’s Department, along with local law enforcement, has been actively patrolling these areas to deter criminal activities.
Among the arrests were notable cases involving a suspects dressed as firefighters caught burglarizing homes. This incident underscores the lengths to which some individuals will go to exploit the chaos.
The Palisades and Eaton fires have not only created a physical hazard but have also brought to light the social challenges that follow such disasters, including crime in evacuated areas. The community and law enforcement are working together to restore order and safety, ensuring that those affected by the fires can return to their homes without the additional worry of theft.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
