The Los Angeles Police Department was called to Vice President Harris’ home in Brentwood, California during the Palisades Fire evacuation, following a potential burglary report. The incident occurred early Sunday according to local reports.
The LAPD confirmed to KTLA that officers detained two people at Harris’ home while the 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. local time curfew was in effect.
A call was made to the West Los Angeles station about a possible burglary at Harris’ residence on Bundy Drive, situated north of Sunset Drive, around 4:40 a.m. Officers arrived at the scene and discovered two men in the vicinity.
Initially, the LAPD detained the men for violating the curfew, but they were later released as no evidence indicated they were involved in criminal activity, as per KTLA.
It’s unclear why the pair was in the area near Harris’ property and whether the matter would be investigated further.
Fox News Digital reached out to the LAPD for comment early Sunday but did not immediately hear back.

KNBC reported that Harris’ home is guarded by the U.S. Secret Service with assistance from the California Highway Patrol and the LAPD’s Metropolitan Division, Dignitary Protection Detail.
The Palisades Fire pushed toward Brentwood on Saturday as high winds were expected to return, complicating the response. According to CAL Fire’s latest update, the Palisades Fire is 11% contained and has burned 23,707 acres.
As of Sunday morning, the Los Angeles County medical examiner reported the California wildfire death toll climbed to at least 16 people, including five who died in the Palisades Fire.
