Arrest Warrant Issued for Suspect in Trump Campaign Office Break-In

Authorities have identified a suspect in the recent burglary at the Trump for President 2024 campaign office in Ashburn, Virginia. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office announced on Wednesday that an arrest warrant has been issued for 39-year-old Toby Shane Kessler, who was allegedly captured on surveillance video breaking into the office on Sunday night. The building also serves as the headquarters for the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee. Kessler reportedly forced entry through a back door and spent a brief period inside the office. Investigators have stated that it remains unclear if he took anything, as he appears to have left no items behind. The sheriff's office has released a clear image of Kessler from the surveillance footage, and they are urging anyone with information about his whereabouts to come forward. Kessler, who has a California driver's license and no fixed address, has a history of criminal behavior and has been in the Washington metropolitan area since at least 2018. While the investigation is ongoing, authorities have not yet determined if there was any political motivation behind the break-in. Sheriff Mike Chapman emphasized the rarity of such incidents involving political campaign offices and expressed a commitment to uncovering the circumstances surrounding the burglary. The sheriff's office is collaborating with other law enforcement agencies to locate Kessler and gather more information about the incident.
