Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Con't

Arizona Democratic Secretary of State and gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs's office was broken into and ransacked this week as police continue to search for the burglar.

The Phoenix campaign headquarters of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs was burglarized earlier this week, Phoenix police and a campaign official said Wednesday.

Police responded to a commercial burglary call at the office in midtown Phoenix on Tuesday afternoon.

"Information was learned that items were taken from the property sometime during the night," a police statement said. "No suspects have been identified. This is still an active investigation with detectives checking all security cameras in attempts to identify and locate the subject involved."

The campaign released photographs of a person it said was identified as the suspect by the Phoenix Police Department after police reviewed the surveillance footage. The images show a younger man wearing shorts, a short-sleeved T-shirt and a backpack.

The Phoenix Police Department said it "has not released any images or video relating to this investigation and cannot confirm any suspects or investigative leads."

Nicole DeMont, campaign manager for Hobbs, said, "We continue to cooperate with law enforcement as they investigate, and we are thankful to the men and women of the Phoenix Police Department for their work to keep us safe."

“Secretary Hobbs and her staff have faced hundreds of death threats and threats of violence over the course of this campaign. Throughout this race, we have been clear that the safety of our staff and of the secretary is our No. 1 priority."

No one was at the office at the time of the break-in and several items were taken, said Sarah Robinson, spokeswoman for the Hobbs campaign.

 

The first person I'd question is Hobbs's Republican opponent in next month's election for Governor, election denier, conspiracy theorist, and nutjob Kari Lake, whose first act as the state's chief executive she says will be to "declare Arizona under invasion" by migrant workers and to militarize the border, and besides, she won't accept a loss anyway.

This stinks to high heaven.
