Trump's campaign office in suburban Washington DC is burglarized as cops release images of suspect stuffing items into his backpack

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign office in the suburbs of Washington D.C. has been broken into, authorities said, after they released CCTV images of the suspect.

The Loudon Country Sheriff's Office said it was looking for a suspect in connection with a break-in at Trump's office in Ashburn after responding to a burglary report on Sunday night.

Officers are reviewing CCTV footage that shows a man wearing a grey hoodie and a black cap shoving items into his backpack. 

The investigation is ongoing, the LCSO said. 

It is not currently clear if the man stole anything.

'It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,' said Sheriff Mike Chapman. 

'We are determined to identify the suspect, investigate why it happened, and determine what may have been taken as well as what may have been left behind.'

Police have urged anyone who may have information on who the suspect is or his whereabouts to get in touch. 

According to LCSO, the Trump for President Campaign is leasing the office, which also serves as the headquarters of the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee.

Ashburn is a Northern Virginia suburb about 30 miles northwest of the US capital.

The news emerges just hours after Trump was interviewed by tech billionaire Elon Musk on the latter's platform X. 

The conversation touched on Kamala Harris, Trump's assassination attempt last month, Joe Biden, as well as the leaders of North Korea, China and Russia. 

Musk also showered the ex-president with compliments and urged Americans to vote for the Republican presidential nominee over vice president Harris.
