Two to be arraigned for break at Romney headquarters

BOSTON -- Former Gov. Mitt Romney's campaign headquarters was broken into for the second time in four months early today, but campaign officials said there was no indication the alleged theft was politically motivated.

Daniel Bradley, 28, and Michael Sauer, 30, both of Cambridge, were scheduled to be arraigned today on a charge of breaking and entering at night with the intent to commit a felony. The pair were caught stealing computer equipment at Romney's Commercial Street headquarters, according to a police report.

In the September burglary, several laptop computers and a television were stolen. Boston police officer Eddy Chrispin said there's no indication the two breaks were related.

Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said the campaign "was grateful to the Boston police for their rapid response."

"There is no indication this was politically motivated," he said.

According to a police report, a guard monitoring security cameras at Romney's headquarters spotted the two men taking computers.

When police arrived about 1 a.m., they stopped Bradley and Sauer as they attempted to leave in a car. They searched the car, and found a computer box in the back seat as well as open bottles of beer. They also found crowbars and pry marks on the windows at the rear and side of Romney's building, according to the report.

Police said Bradley had six outstanding warrants, including breaking and entering and receiving stolen property.
