A suspect is in custody after he allegedly tried to start a fire in the San Fernando Valley community of Woodland Hills. Eyewitnesses tell KFI News that the man was apprehended after being chased by a group of neighbors in a residential area near Topanga Canyon Boulevard not far from Mulholland Heights. The suspect was cornered in the front yard of a house on Galindo Street while riding a motorbike and carrying a lit torch. The three residents who tackled the man then held him until Los Angeles police officers arrived. A detective with the LAPD told KFI that they are not prepared to make a statement about the arrest at this time.
This is a developing story.

Are we about to find out these fires are being set by illegal migrant gangs with the intent of looting?
Or maybe to distract law enforcement? https://t.co/xjyb6nSMx3 pic.twitter.com/ZiVrE1Hukw
