Authorities have reported the arrest of two individuals for allegedly pretending to be members of the media in order to gain access to a fire zone. The suspects are said to have forged press passes to unlawfully enter an evacuation zone for the Palisades Fire.
According to the California Highway Patrol, officers stationed at road closures for the fire encountered two individuals at separate locations who were using what appeared to be fake Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department press passes. The suspicious behavior of these individuals raised concerns, leading to their arrest.
