Cincinnati (AP): A man who broke windows at Vice President JD Vance's Ohio home and caused other property damage was detained early Monday, the US Secret Service said.

The man was detained shortly after midnight by Secret Service agents assigned to Vance's home, east of downtown Cincinnati, agency spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press. He has not been named.

The Secret Service heard a loud noise at the home around midnight and found a person who had broken a window with a hammer and was trying to get into the house, according to two law enforcement officials who were not publicly authorised to discuss the investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The man had also vandalised a Secret Service vehicle on his way up the home's driveway, one of the officials said.

The home, in the Walnut Hills neighbourhood, was unoccupied at the time, and Vance and his family were not in Ohio, Guglielmi said.

The Secret Service is coordinating with the Cincinnati Police Department and the US attorney's office as charging decisions are reviewed, he said.

Vance's office directed questions to the Secret Service and said his family was already back in Washington.

Walnut Hills is one of the city's oldest neighbourhoods and is home to historic sites, including the Harriet Beecher Stowe House.

Kota (Udupi): Incidents of men caught peeping into bathrooms under use were reported over the last few days from places under the administration limits of Pandeshwara Gram Panchayat in Sasthana, Kundapura taluk.

A ‘peeping tom’ was found on Monday evening having climbed up the roof of the bathroom of a house in Niradijaddu in Pandeshwara and, clearing one of the tiles, attempting to record a video clip of a woman bathing. Noticing this, however, the woman started shouting, and the man escaped from the place.

A complaint was filed with Kota Police in this regard.

On Tuesday, a similar incident was reported from the Pandeshwara Main Road, where a man peeped into the bathroom of a house when a woman was taking a bath and ran away within a few minutes.

The matter was brought to the notice of Kota Police, who are looking for the suspects with the help of the locals.

The villagers, however, have expressed worry after the incidents were reported and have urged the police to catch the suspects at the earliest.
