A man broke into and burglarized a Trump campaign office in suburban Washington, D.C., on Sunday, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said Monday.
Police published photos of a man, his face visible, walking around the office and appearing to stuff items into a backpack. Police said they were notified of a break-in at about 9 p.m. Sunday.
“It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,” Sheriff Mike Chapman said in a statement. “We are determined to identify the suspect, investigate why it happened, and determine what may have been taken as well as what may have been left behind.”
The Ashburn, Virginia, office is also the headquarters of the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee, police said.
Loudoun County Sheriffs will continue investigating the incident and seeking additional information about the suspect.
The announcement of the break-in comes the same day the FBI announced it will investigate an alleged hack of the Trump campaign’s files. The campaign claims that hackers backed by the Iranian government breached its data.
