California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed charges Wednesday against a local real estate agent for attempting to “price gouge” a couple who lost their home in the Los Angeles Eaton Fire.

According to Bonta’s office, so far more than 500 warning letters have been sent to hotels and landlords accused of price gouging amid the deadly, ongoing wildfires ravaging Los Angeles County. At least 28 people have died as multiple wildfires, fueled by severe drought conditions and strong winds, rage across Southern California as the new Hughes fire grows. Thousands of structures have been burned and thousands of families have been displaced.

“As I have said repeatedly, the price gouging must stop. Today, we are making good on our promise to hold price gougers accountable, with more to come,” said Bonta in an online statement. “May this announcement serve as a stern warning to those who would seek to further victimize those who have lost everything. DOJ is aggressively and relentlessly pursuing those who are trying to make a quick buck off of someone else’s pain.”
