Meanwhile, police sources told CNN that they are continuing to investigate the case. This is the second time that Bass has been the victim of a home invasion while working as a public official.
"In September 2022, while Bass held a seat in the House of Representatives and was running for mayor, another home where she lived was robbed and two firearms were stolen," CNN recalled.
