US Vice-President J.D. Vance on Jan 5 said “a crazy person” had tried to break into his Ohio home by hammering on the windows.

He and his family were not there at the time.

CNN, citing an unnamed US law enforcement source, reported earlier that officials were probing an incident at the home and had taken one person into custody.

“As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in by hammering the windows. I’m grateful to the secret service and the Cincinnati police for responding quickly,” Mr Vance said in a post on X.

“We weren’t even home as we had returned already to DC,” he added, asking media not to show pictures of the house with holes in the windows. REUTERS
