Someone broke into the home of deceased state Rep. Melissa Hortman overnight, according to police.
Hortman and her husband, Mark, were assassinated in their home early Saturday. Vance Boelter was arrested following a two-day nationwide manhunt.
Brooklyn Park police said in a press release that they were alerted Wednesday morning to an overnight break-in at the Hortman residence.
According to police, the home had been processed by crime scene investigators and all evidence related to the homicides had been collected. The home was boarded up early Sunday morning and a police trailer camera was placed at the front of the home.
The house was then released to the family, who removed items of value from the home on Tuesday.
On Wednesday morning, it was discovered that the plywood covering a rear window had been pried off and the window was broken to gain entry. Police said the home appeared to have been searched by an unknown individual but the family indicated that they don’t believe anything is missing.
Police urged neighbors to check their cameras and call 763-493-8222 if they have any information.
