NUMBER OF LOOTERS

Sheriff's Lt. Sean Gerrity tells me that there were only two looters during the evacuation. Both were in Pauma Valley. One was on Adams and the other was on Los Hermanos. Of course, as residents get settled and get a chance to resume their lives, they may find that the number of looters is higher.

"My goal was no looters," he says. He says that if there had been fewer residents who refused to evacuate that it would have been easier to apprehend the looters. "It's harder to catch the bad guys when you have to keep stopping and asking for ID from the good guys," he said.
