Suspect arrested after break-in at Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' home
A suspected intruder was arrested early Sunday morning after a break-in at the home of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, according to police.
"Around 6:40 AM this morning an individual smashed a window to gain entry into the Getty House while occupied," the LAPD PIO said in a statement on X.
Bass and her family reside at the Getty House in the Hancock Park neighborhood in Los Angeles.
The Mayor’s office tells ABC News Bass was one of the occupants who was at home when the intruder broke in, but did not specify if she had an interaction with the suspect.
"There were no injuries to the occupants during this incident," LAPD wrote, adding, "The suspect was taken into custody without incident."
Authorities said late Sunday night that the suspect, who was identified as Ephraim Matthew Hunter, 29, was booked on a felony burglary charge.
Following the break-in, Bass' Deputy Mayor of Communications Zach Seidl released a statement, saying,
It was not immediately clear if Hunter had a legal representative.
The Mayor is grateful to LAPD for responding and arresting the suspect."
