The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said an unidentified man is connected to the burglary that occurred on Sunday at the campaign office in Ashburn, Virginia, according to a department news release.

“It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,” Sheriff Mike Chapman said in the release. “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 news comes as the FBI investigates allegations that Iranian cyber agents breached Trump’s campaign in another case of foreign intelligence services targeting U.S. elections.

Donald Trump's campaign did not comment on burglary

A spokesperson for the Republican Party of Virginia and the Trump campaign did not provide a comment when asked by the Staunton News Leader − part of the USA TODAY Network − regarding the incident, citing the fact that the sheriff's office's investigation is ongoing.

“We don't usually comment on any investigations,” Ken Nunnenkamp, executive director of the Republican Party of Virginia, said.

The sheriff's office nor Trump's campaign have identified what the man may have stolen from the office.
