LOS ANGELES — An intruder smashed a window to break into Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’ home early Sunday, officials said.
The intruder broke in at about 6:40 a.m. local time, her office said in a statement.
Bass and her family were home at the time but were not injured, the statement said.
Los Angeles police said the person smashed a window at Getty House, the mayor’s official residence, to enter the building while it was occupied.
The suspect, a 29-year-old man, was arrested without incident and charged with burglary, police said. He was being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
The investigation is ongoing, police said.
Bass “is grateful to LAPD for responding and arresting the suspect,” the statement from her office said.
