MALIBU, Calif. — Malibu residents are on alert for looters who are taking advantage of the fire that swept through the community.
The looters hit homes that were evacuated by residents when the fires came close. Video shows men looking around one house before climbing the roof and breaking in. The owner, who asked not to be named for safety reasons, said three men spent five hours ransacking his home. His home surveillance cameras captured the looters after he and his fiancee evacuated under threat of the Woolsey Fire.
