Around 6:40 a.m., the intruder broke into the Getty House — the official residence of the mayor of Los Angeles, at 605 S. Irving Boulevard — said Deputy Mayor of Communications Zach Seidl. Bass and her family were home at the time of the break-in, but were unharmed.
It was unclear if anything was taken; and if the break-in targeted Bass or was random.
“The mayor is grateful to LAPD for responding and arresting the suspect,” Seidl said.
The man was taken into custody without incident, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. He was jailed Sunday night on a felony count of suspicion of burglary.
Investigators were collecting evidence and taking photos at the home Sunday afternoon. Authorities told reporters at the scene that the intruder broke though a glass door to enter the home, an alarm alerted police and officers immediately responded and encountered a man whom they arrested.
Bass’s former residence, in the Baldwin Vista community, was burglarized in 2022 when she was a congresswoman and mayoral candidate, with two revolvers stolen from a safe box in her closet. Two men were later arrested in Van Nuys.
