Sam Johnson statement on office break-in

Today U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (3rd Dist.-Texas) released the following statement in the wake of a burglary in his Richardson office.

An employee for Congressman Johnson was working around 7:30pm on August 8, 2007, when she heard rustling in the congressional office. She guessed that the commotion in the office came from the cleaning crew.

When the employee left her personal office and walked into the hallway, she came face to face with one of the two people who were in the process of ransacking the office. She phoned for assistance. The burglars soon fled the office after stealing two computer screens. No sensitive congressional information was taken. The employee was not harmed.

Congressman Johnson's office is now referring all media inquiries to Richardson Police Department Public Information Officer Lt. Mike Scott at 972-744-4800.

"I'm just thankful that our employee escaped unharmed. We're one big family in my office and I'm taking this very seriously.

"I have full faith that Richardson Police Department will apprehend these intruders. The Richardson Police Department is fully investigating this. My office also has alerted the Capitol Hill Police Department since this crime took place on federal property."
