The offices of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's defense lawyers have been robbed and police said thieves made off with eight computers and a safe.

Investigators were interviewing the attorneys, trying to determine whether any data related to Blagojevich's federal fraud case were on the computers' hard drives, the Associated Press reported.

Police said the burglars tripped an alarm during the break-in overnight.

The robbery occurred at the Chicago offices of defense lawyer Sam Adam and his son, Samuel E. Adam. They are part of the legal team defending Blagojevich on charges that he schemed to profit in the naming of someone to fill President Obama's former Senate seat.
