Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced that a curfew would go into effect on areas of the city’s downtown as riots reached their fifth consecutive day.

“I have declared a local emergency and issued a curfew for Downtown Los Angeles to stop the vandalism, to stop the looting,” Bass said during a press conference.

Looting has been seen in areas like Compton; Bass said that 23 businesses had been looted the night before across the city. She also cited graffiti in areas affected by the riots that had caused “significant damages to businesses and a number of properties.”
