Intruder arrested after break-in at Getty House, official residence of Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, California
An intruder was arrested after breaking in to the Los Angeles mayor’s official residence early Sunday morning, officials say.
The break-in happened around 6:40 a.m. at the Getty House residence in Hancock Park, according to the office of Mayor Karen Bass.
“This morning at about 6:40 AM, an intruder broke into Getty House through a window,” according to a statement from Deputy Mayor Zach Seidl. “Mayor Bass and her family were not injured and are safe. The Mayor is grateful to LAPD for responding and arresting the suspect.”
No further details were available about the intruder’s identity or how the person was able to get through security at the residence.
This is the second time in three years Bass has been the victim of a break-in.
While she was running for office in 2022, two men stole a pair of handguns from her Baldwin Vista home, bypassing cash and electronics and taking only the weapons.
Patricio Munoz and Juan Espinoza pleaded no contest last year to burglary and grand theft of a firearm, and both received prison sentences.
