The homeless arsonist who was apprehended close to a wildfire in Los Angeles was revealed to be an undocumented immigrant.
According to RadarOnline . com, a video of Mexican national Juan Manuel Sierra-Leyva walking with a yellow blowtorch before being beaten by irate residents in Calabasas, California, has led to his being listed as a potential suspect in starting the destructive fires.
Sierra-Leyva was purportedly seen riding a bicycle in Woodland Hills on Thursday while toting a sizable “propane tank or a flamethrower.”

“I can not stop,” the suspect said, according to one witness who spoke to FOX 11. “I can’t stop. I’m not putting this down. I’m doing this.”
Local Renata Grinshpun, another resident of Los Angeles, stated that the neighborhood intervened as “a group” and went on to say: “A few gentlemen surrounded him and got him on his knees.”
“They got some zip ties and a rope, and we were able to do a citizens’ arrest.”
The Kenneth Fire, which started late Thursday afternoon and caused Calabasas residents to evacuate in large numbers, is being investigated as an arson offense, according to the LAPD.
