Man Arrested For Attempting to Loot Collapsed Building
Rescuers in Philadelphia pulled a man from the wreckage of a collapsed building on Monday – and then promptly arrested him for looting.
The abandoned three-story building in the north of the city had been reduced to rubble after Superstorm Sandy battered the east coast of the United States.
Firefighters working to make the building safe didn’t think anyone was inside, until they heard someone crawling out of the rubble.
After helping him to safety, police officers arrested him for disorderly conduct on the suspicion that he had crawled in to the building, located on Cumberland Street, looking for things to loot.
