Suspect Arrested After Breaking into Mayor’s Official Residence

A 29-year-old suspect has been apprehended following a break-in at Getty House, the official residence of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. The incident took place at approximately 6:40 a.m. on April 21, when the suspect allegedly smashed a back window to gain entry into the Hancock Park home. Bass and her family were present in the residence at the time of the break-in. Importantly, no injuries were reported during the incident. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) promptly responded to the scene and arrested Ephraim Matthew Hunter, a Los Angeles resident, who has since been booked on charges of burglary.
