The area is access controlled and there was no forced entry.
The break-in follows several security breaches at state institutions recently‚ including a burglary at the office of the chief justice earlier this year.
Parliament's portfolio committee‚ in its a statement this evening‚ expressed its serious condemnation of the burglary and "resolved to call" Lt-Gen Matakata "to come and explain the circumstances under which this security breach occurred".
“The Committee finds it difficult to comprehend how this burglary occurred in an office that has a responsibility to fight organised and serious crimes. There’s a lot at stake here and we want the Acting Head to brief the Committee about this serious breach‚” said Francois Beukman‚ the Chairperson of the Committee.
