An employee at a luxury apartment complex near the beach told police she allowed a homeless man inside the building who later broke open the door to a sixth floor tenant’s apartment, according a Santa Monica Police Department report obtained by the Daily Press.

The 90-year-old tenant, Florence Kaufman, was asleep inside her bedroom during the Jan. 13 incident.
