Computers Stolen From Boston ACORN Office
BOSTON (WBZ) ―
Police are investigating a burglary at the Boston offices of the community activist group ACORN.
Boston police told WBZ Friday that three Dell laptop computers were stolen from the group's Dorchester office around 10:15 p.m. Wednesday.
According to police, the alarm had also been ripped from the wall and wires had been damaged.
The police report says two downstairs offices also were ransacked, two vending machines were damaged and change stolen from them.
A representative from the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now said he did not know if the break-in was politically motivated, but called the timing "suspicious."
The FBI is investigating whether ACORN helped foster voter registration fraud in several states before the presidential election.
ACORN denies any fraud.
