Break-in staged at congressman's home

Three suspects allegedly attempted to break into the Philadelphia home of Rep. Robert Brady (D-Pa.) on Friday.

CNN is reporting that phone lines to the building had been severed, although Officer Jillian Russell of the Philadelphia Police Department said she could not confirm this detail.

While home alone, Brady’s wife heard a knock on the front door of their residence located on the 7000 block of Brentwood Road at about 11:30 a.m., according to Russell.

She didn’t respond, then about an hour later at 12:45 p.m., she observed three males in the backyard while one unsuccessfully attempted to open a rear sliding door.

Brady’s wife knocked on a window and the suspects fled, Russell said. Brady spokewoman Karen Warrington did not immediately return requests for comment.

The suspects are described as three black males with gray hooded sweatshirts. One was wearing a surgical mask.

U.S. Capitol Police spokesperson Lt. Kimberly Schneider said in an email that the Capitol Police “currently have an active investigation” regarding the case and “is currently working with local law enforcement in Pennsylvania.

No arrests have been made and nothing was taken from the residence, Russell said.
