LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced Friday that charges have been filed against nine additional people in connection with eight alleged crimes committed during Southern California's devastating wildfires.

The DA's had previously announced eight individuals Friday afternoon, before revising the number to nine Friday evening. 

The charges encompass a range of offenses, including felony arson, felony possession of ammunition by a felon, felony looting during mandatory evacuations and misdemeanor impersonation of a firefighter. The alleged crimes occurred across the county, including in the cities of South Gate, Brentwood, Hawthorne, Huntington Park, Compton, Santa Monica and Malibu.

"To anyone who believes they can use this disaster as a cover for criminal activity, let this be your warning: You will be caught, and you will be held accountable," Hochman said this week. "The citizens of this county deserve safety and justice, especially in the wake of such unprecedented devastation, and I will not rest until we achieve both."

On Monday, Hochman announced that eight people who allegedly looted homes during the massive fires in Altadena and Pacific Palisades were charged with residential burglary and two others have been charged with other crimes, including a man who allegedly set a fire at a park in Azusa.
