“It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,” Sheriff Mike Chapman said. “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 burglarized building is currently being leased by the Trump campaign and also exists as the headquarters of the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee, LCSO noted.

This comes two days after news broke that the Trump campaign’s internal communications were hacked by what it said was a hostile foreign entity. The Republican nominee’s campaign pointed to a Microsoft intelligence report released Friday that claimed hackers affiliated with the Iranian armed forces had “sent a spear-phishing email to a high-ranking official of a presidential campaign” in June. The campaign alleged an Iranian operative was who shared the stolen information with Politico starting in late July, the outlet reported.
