Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass received a nasty surprise this morning … ’cause LAPD says an individual broke into her residence — while she was home.
The Los Angeles Police Department announced the news late Sunday afternoon … posting to X a person broke into the Getty House, the official residence of the mayor, at around 6:40 AM Sunday.
While they confirmed occupants were in the home at the time, they wouldn’t say exactly who … but, law enforcement sources tell us Mayor Bass was one of them.
LAPD says no one was injured, and they took a suspect into custody without incident … still, a scary situation for Mayor Bass.
Bass — who served in Congress from 2011 to 2022 before resigning the office to take over the mayoral job in L.A. — is a close friend and advocate for President Joe Biden.

It’s hard not to remember the break-in at Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home back in 2022 … when her husband Paul Pelosi was bludgeoned with a hammer by David DePape.
It’s unclear at this time if the break-in at Bass’ residence was politically motivated.
The Mayor’s office released a statement as well … confirming what cops announced on X and adding, “The Mayor is grateful to LAPD for responding and arresting the suspect.”
We’re told LAPD’s elite Robbery and Homicide division is investigating the case.
