The Severna Park home of Dan Bongino, the former Secret Service agent who ran for U.S. Senate in 2012, was broken into Wednesday night and many valuable items were taken.
Someone broke into the home, disarmed the house alarm system and took computers, purses, wallets and “anything valuable,” according to Bongino’s spokeswoman Karla Graham. She added that the break-in occurred while Bongino, his wife and children were sleeping.
“We don’t know what is going on or who would have done this,” Graham said. “We are hoping by posting things that someone might hear something or see something.”
Police spokesman Justin Mulcahy confirmed that Bongino's home was broken into Wednesday night.
"Eastern Detectives are aware and investigating," Mulcahy said. "There is no suspect information at this time. Officers are conducting periodic checks in the area."
On his Facebook page Wednesday, Bongino asked that anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious contact the Anne Arundel County Police Department. He also said this is not the first time his family has been targeted.
Bongino mentioned on Facebook that one item that he had a strong emotional attachment to was taken from his home—a silver Breitling watch with a blue face that had a Secret Service star and the words "Presidential Protective Division" above it.
“It is one of only a few hundred made,” Bongino wrote. “If someone tries to sell you this watch, please call the police.”
Graham said that Bongino and his family were shaken from the break-in. In his Facebook post Bongino asked for prayers and support.
“Prayers would be appreciated, my daughter is devastated,” Bongino wrote.
