Its unnerving and, unfortunately, its something that far too many Angelenos have faced, Bass said.
The burglary at Bass residence comes in a year where theres been a 15.1% increase of burglaries compared to those last year reported to the Los Angeles Police Department .
Bass spokesperson Sarah Leonard Sheahan told The Los Angeles Times that Bass owned the firearms, which she alleged were registered to the mayoral candidate but she has never looked to obtain a permit to carry.
