Sen. Chris Dodd’s Office Burglarized

ABC News’ Donna Hunter reports: The Connecticut office of presidential hopeful Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., was burglarized late Saturday evening.

It was reported that a suspect, described as an Hispanic male between 35 and 40-years-old, 5 feet 9 inches tall, broke into the Senator’s office between the hours of 10pm and 11pm on Saturday evening, taking undisclosed items and leaving behind evidence at the scene.

Dodd’s senate press secretary Jamie Radice would not speculate as to whether or not the break-in was politically motivated.

Local police in Hartford, Connecticut are still investigating what was taken from Dodd’s office.  They have yet to release details of the items that the suspect left behind.

The police believe the suspect jumped from an adjacent roof to Dodd’s office and broke in through a second story window. Dodd, who has served in the Senate since 1981, has been in his current office on Lewis Street in Hartford, Connecticut for the last five months.

Radice said they do not know what was taken and have no idea why someone would want to break into the Senator’s office.
