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.

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.
