The department in a previous statement said, "Information was learned that items were taken from the property sometime during the night."

The Phoenix Police Department has arrested a 36-year-old man in connection with a break-in at Democratic Arizona gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs’ campaign headquarters earlier this week.

Daniel Mota Dos Reis was booked on one count of third-degree burglary, according to the department.

On Wednesday night, a patrol officer saw a news story that included a surveillance image and recognized the man shown as a suspect who had been arrested earlier in the day in connection with a separate, unrelated commercial burglary, police said in a statement Thursday.

photos of her opponent, Kari Lake, were plastered on the screen. I thought that maybe Lake was the burglar.

that it implied it was Kari Lake's headquarters that were burglarized........again, very subtle

I don't watch much of MSNBC because I feel they subtly lean to the right on many things......

that the cops chose the description:

"An arrest has been made regarding a commercial burglary that occurred near Virginia Avenue and Central Avenue on Oct. 25, 2022".

Very subtle, as normal, not calling it for what it is: Democrat Candidate Headquarters.....

Sounded like the officer who arrested the guy at that burglary recognized him from the surveillance footage.

Should I say: Party of Democratics ???????? Or maybe: Campaign HQ of Democatics ????????????????
Or would this work: Democrat's Campaign HQ ???????????????????

Again sorry, I sometimes get confused with the wording of something, or mis-type.........

What's a non-commercial burglary?

Are they trying to imply only commercial property was stolen? What else would you steal? You can still get a lot of political info by stealing property like laptops, cell phones and hard drives.

That's some weird double speak they are using. Don't trust them.

It was not a MAGA Watergate operation. It was a serial burglar.

It was a serial robber looking for a quick rip off for cash for his drugs.

But there was good reason to believe it could have been politically motivated. Yet, you described it as a "conspiracy theory," as if it's crazy to speculate republicans would commit a crime against a political opponent.
