Police have arrested two men in connection with a burglary at the Los Angeles home of a California congresswoman last week where two guns were stolen, authorities said.

The men were arrested on Tuesday after investigators saw them get into a vehicle that had been parked at the home of Rep. Karen Bass during the break-in which took place on Saturday.

LAPD Van Nuys officers arrested, 42-year-old, Patricio Munoz who is currently being held on $500,000 bail. Juan Espinoza, 24, was also arrested and is being held without bail.

Bass, who is running for mayor of Los Angeles, previously said two firearms had been stolen during the break-in.

'I feel safe, but I do understand that a lot of people around the city do not feel safe, and I respect that,' Bass told Fox 11. 'I felt safe, until my safety was shattered.

'Angelenos all around the city are not feeling safe,' she continued, pivoting towards a campaign pitch.

Bass said that she had met with LAPD Department detectives on Wednesday who informed her of the arrests.

'It appears that only two firearms, despite being safely and securely stored, were stolen. Cash, electronics and other valuables were not.'

Los Angeles police announced the arrests on Wednesday but did not say Bass had been the victim of the crime.

KTTV-TV first reported the arrests on Wednesday.

Bass said she has guns for personal safety, though she believes gun control is important.
