Wichita police, State Department investigated burglary of Pompeo's storage units

WASHINGTON _ A break-in at a self-storage facility, usually a routine piece of police business, rose to a matter of diplomatic security in Wichita, Kan., last year after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had two units burglarized, according to a police report.

Pompeo's involvement prompted the State Department to dispatch a security officer to East Side Mini Storage last November to review the scene and meet with local police. The thief used a grinding tool to break into four storage units, including two belonging to the nation's top diplomat, according to the Wichita Police Department.

The former Wichita congressman's units "appeared to contain tables, chairs and miscellaneous Pompeo campaign items," the police report said.
