Two people were arrested near Vice President Kamala Harris’ Brentwood home as the neighborhood was in the evacuation zone because of the threatening Palisades Fire.
The LAPD detained the two men for breaking curfew violations around 4:30 a.m. on Saturday, NBC Los Angeles reported, citing sources.
“They likely had no idea where they were,” the law enforcement source told the outlet.
Harris’ neighborhood is in the mandatory evacuation zone as the deadly fire pushes east toward the populated Los Angeles neighborhoods.

A curfew of 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. was put into place for the zones affected by the Palisades and Eaton fires — including areas boasting multimillion-dollar properties owned by celebrities.
The two suspects were not arrested on Harris’ property, the outlet reported.
Harris’ husband Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff purchased the home in 2012, according to Town and Country.
The four-bedroom home is worth $4.79M, according to a real estatel listing.

The deadly Palisades Fire, which began last Tuesday morning, has killed at least five people.
More than 23,600 acres have been destroyed and the blaze is only 11 percent contained, officials announced Saturday night.
The fire has destroyed or damaged over 5,000 structures as it extended to Mandeville Canyon, Brentwood and Bel Air.
