Former FBI agent suggests inside job in Massachusetts mansion heist as 'specific and valuable' items stolen

Daly was an investigator and counterintelligence operative for the federal law enforcement agency.

Beverly, Massachusetts police said the brazen robbery occurred in the early morning hours on Saturday, and that a neighbor called the police at 8:50 a.m., alerting them of the crime.

The opulent 27,000-square-foot mansion rests on ocean front property northeast of Boston.

"What they did to my housekeeper was just horrendous," Swan said.

"She was held at gunpoint, sometimes dragged by her hair, ultimately tied up and left in the garage.

She’s really, really special, but truly traumatized by this, truly traumatized."
Daly noted that the tactics used by the suspect differ from those typically found in high-profile targeted robberies involving expensive items.

"It is interesting in this case that [the suspect] appears to have abused, pistol-whipped and perhaps even dragged the housekeeper by her hair," said Daly.

"It's different from the typical method of operation.

If you look at the people who robbed the gems and the art out of the Louvre, they were sleek, they kind of blended in, they didn't hurt anyone in the process.

And you see that often when you talk about high net worth break-ins or you hear about valuables taken from art galleries or from museums."
"It's done in a much more low-key fashion.

This one was much more brazen, and also seems to be a little bit bordering, kind of a bit thuggish, if you will."
The Beverly Police Department and the Massachusetts State Police are currently investigating.

Beverly police declined to comment further on Wednesday morning.
