Thieves broke into the Los Angeles offices of Jeffrey Epstein’s one-time crisis PR guru and stole work computers — the day before long-sealed court documents related to the convicted pedophile were released to the public, according to cops.
Michael Sitrick, of A-list global crisis PR firm Sitrick & Company, said crooks burglarized his company’s offices in a four-story Brentwood building on Jan. 2, but batted down any connection between the break-in and this week’s unsealing of nearly 900 documents from a since-settled 2015 defamation suit by alleged Epstein vic Virginia Giuffre.
“There can’t be any connection because it makes no sense,” Sitrick insisted to The Post.
Sitrick said the thieves only stole computers that were used by employees in the accounts’ payable, and pointed out that other companies’ offices in the building were also broken into on Tuesday, he added.
He also said neither his private office nor his assistant’s were tampered with.
“If the thieves were after anything related to Epstein or anyone else, how can one explain why my office was not broken into?” he said, adding that there weren’t any documents at his office connected to Epstein.
Cops responded to a burglary call at 11999 San Vicente Boulevard just after 12:30 p.m. local time, with crooks managing to enter the building by breaking a glass door, a Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman told The Post.
The spokeswoman declined to provide further details about the burglary.
The crisis PR maven said he began working with the child sex abuser in 2011, in the wake of a Post story detailing Epstein’s friendship with Prince Andrew.
Sitrick said he had fired Epstein as a client roughly a year before his company sued the child sex offender in 2014 to recoup over $71,000 in unpaid bills, which he eventually ponied up.
LA Magazine first reported the break-in.
