Aug. 14 (UPI) -- A suspect has been identified in the weekend break-in at former President Donald Trump's campaign office in Virginia. The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday it has issued an arrest warrant for Toby Shane Kessler after the 39-year-old was allegedly caught on surveillance video forcing his way into the Ashburn building that houses Trump for President 2024 campaign and the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee.

"Suspect identified and warrant issued for burglary at Trump Campaign headquarters," the sheriff's office announced Wednesday, with a photo of Kessler, in a post on X.
Investigators say Kessler spent a brief period of time inside the campaign office Sunday night before leaving.
"He appears to have left nothing behind, and it is still unclear what, if anything, he took with him," LCSO added.
The sheriff's office said Kessler was wearing dark clothing, a dark cap and a backpack. They are asking anyone who knows Kessler's whereabouts to contact them.
Loudoun County is working with other law enforcement agencies in its search for Kessler, who has a California driver's license and no fixed address.
"Mr. Kessler has a history of criminal behavior and appears to have been in the Washington metropolitan area since at least 2018."
