US intelligence has indicated it was not involved in the break-in at a hair salon during a Kamala Harris campaign rally in Massachusetts late last month.

Allegations of Secret Service involvement emerged after salon owner Alicia Powers claimed agents covered her security cameras with duct tape and broke into her building by picking the lock.

Security camera footage shows a person disguised as a secret agent walking toward the door with a roll of duct tape, observing the locked door and the camera, and then sitting down on a nearby chair to cover the camera with duct tape.

“The U.S. Secret Service works closely with our partners in the business community to carry out our protection and investigative missions,” USSS spokeswoman Melissa McKenzie said in a statement.

McKenzie said the Secret Service has been in contact with Powers since the July 27 incident.

“We value these relationships highly and our staff would not enter a store or instruct our partners to enter a store without the owner’s permission,” McKenzie said, without saying who was responsible.

Powers told Business Insider that “several people” were “in and out for about an hour and a half – they were just using my bathroom, the alarms were going off, they were using my counter, without permission.”

“And then when they finished using the bathroom after two hours, they left and left my building completely unlocked and didn’t take the tape off the camera,” she added.

Powers later said a USSS representative contacted her after Business Insider asked the agency for comment on the incident.

Fox News Digital has asked Powers for a response to the Secret Service’s recent comment.

The incident occurred less than a month after the assassination attempt on former President Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The shooting sparked intense interest among the Secret Service, which was ultimately responsible for coordinating security efforts with local law enforcement.

The investigation intensified after it was revealed that police officers had observed the shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, more than an hour before the shooting and identified him as a suspect, but then lost sight of him.

The crooks managed to climb to the roof of a building belonging to AGR International Inc., a supplier of automation equipment for the glass and plastic packaging industries, and fired an estimated eight shots with an AR-15-style rifle.
