Los Angeles - Authorities are investigating two police
chiefs suspected of breaking into the home of the surrogate mother
carrying Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker's twin babies,
according to US reports Thursday.
Ohio news station WTRF TV reported that Martins Ferry Police Chief
Barry Carpenter and Bridgeport Police Department Chief Chad DoJack
struck an agreement with a reporter to burgle the unidentified
woman's house and gather information on her lifestyle for a magazine
expose by The National Enquirer.
Celebrity website TMZ.com reported that the Ohio Bureau of
Criminal Investigations has seized computers used to hatch the plot
as evidence after police were called to the pregnant woman's house in
Martins Ferry following the recent burglary.
Carpenter dismissed the accusations, telling reporters 'I'm 100
per cent innocent in this and my department is as well.'
The burglars were reportedly seeking voicemail recordings left for
the woman by Parker and her husband, Matthew Broderick. The stars are
expecting twins via the surrogate mother this summer, after being
unable to naturally conceive a brother or sister for 6-year-old son
James Wilkie.
The Hollywood couple expressed outrage over the incident.
'The most unsavory of things have been done,' Parker said,
according to the New York Post. 'She's had her phone hacked, her
personal computer information hacked, she's had threats against her
and true harassment. ... There's simply no excuse for doing this to
somebody. It's not acceptable. I am incredibly outraged by the sort
of extraordinary and unprecedented invasion of her privacy.'
