Anger drives hunt for 'criminal' water guzzler during California drought

As residents cut water use, even the rich rage at the mysterious 'Wet Prince of Bel Air', who used 11.8m gallons in one year

Dean Gamburd has been a Bel Air resident all his life. Normally, he has nothing but good things to say about his neighbourhood, one of the most affluent in Los Angeles, where the streets are lined with opulent houses and well-tended flowerbeds. Jennifer Aniston, Nicolas Cage and Kim Kardashian have homes here. It's a nice place to live.

But today Gamburd, a former firearms consultant in his 60s, is angry. Very angry. "It's criminal," he says, sitting at a table outside Starbucks. "There's no other word to use."
