A suspect is in custody after the home of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was broken into Sunday morning while the house was occupied, police said. At around 6:40 a.m., a person smashed a window to gain entry to the Getty House, the mayor’s official residence, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a social media post. A 29-year-old suspect was taken into custody, according to a police spokesperson. Bass was inside at the time but no one in the family was harmed, a spokesperson for the mayor said. “Mayor Bass and her family were not injured and are safe. The Mayor is grateful to LAPD for responding and arresting the suspect,” the spokesperson, Zach Seidl, said in a statement. Detectives are still investigating the motive, including whether the mayor was specifically targeted, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation. The source noted the process of booking the suspect was still ongoing Sunday evening. Officers are seeking search warrants for digital devices used by the suspect, the source said.
