Thieves allegedly stole a laptop from a Secret Service agent’s car that included Trump Tower floor plans and an information pertaining to Hillary Clinton’s email investigation, CBS2 reported Friday, citing unnamed sources.

The laptop was in a bag with other sensitive documents that were also stolen, the outlet reported, but it was not immediately clear what information the documents contained.

Security video shows the alleged thief pulling up to the agent’s home, but does not show the actual break-in, CBS2 reported. The video also shows the suspect throwing the bag into the snow and authorities were able to recover that, but when they did, the documents and laptops were gone and only “coins” were left.
