Two people were arrested Thursday morning in Rolling Hills Estates on suspicion of attempting to burglarize homes that were evacuated in the major landslide that struck earlier this week, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Authorities attempted to surround the two suspects, who then tried to escape into landslide area — which has remained closed to the public amid concerns about its stability, according to tweets from the Sheriff's Department's Lomita station.
With assistance from aerial footage from Torrance police drone operators, deputies were able to detain the two people. Their identities were not immediately released.
