BOSTON (WHDH) – Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn reacted to a troubling theft he said happened in private offices inside Boston City Hall Monday.
“It is concerning to have this major security breach here in the city, the city’s main building,” Flynn said.
According to an email from property management to City Hall employees, obtained by 7NEWS, an unauthorized member of the public entered several office suites and stole personal belongings from employees.
“I do know that the person that went into offices did so almost without anyone asking why he was there. And he almost had a free reign of the city hall for a period of time,” Flynn said.
Though the thief may have only taken personal belongings, Flynn worries they had access to more sensitive city government files.
While an investigation continues, property management is warning staffers to be diligent and protect their personal belongings. Officials also warn everyone to question any unfamiliar people in office suites and to alert security of any suspicious behavior.
