Police in Baltimore are investigating a burglary on Saturday at the home of House Rep. Elijah Cummings, it was reported on Thursday.

The alleged burglary took place before dawn on Saturday, WJZ-TV reported.

So far, police have not said if there is property missing from the home.

The alleged break-in took place hours before President Trump criticized the powerful Democratic lawmaker on Twitter.

The president sparked outrage and accusations of racism by blaming Cummings for Baltimore being a 'rodent infested mess.'

Cummings' home is a row house located in the Druid Heights section of West Baltimore.

Druid Heights is considered an area that does have a high concentration of rats based on the number of rodent control requests from residents, according to the Baltimore Sun.

The median home value for properties at Druid Heights is slightly more than $195,000, according to Niche.

Median rent in the area is slightly above $1,000.

The web site ranks Druid Heights 159th out of the 225 best neighborhoods for young professionals to live in Baltimore.

Niche ranks the neighborhoods based on a number of factors, including the quality of public schools, the level of crime, accessibility to affordable housing, nightlife options, and diversity.

Druid Heights is also an area where there is moderately high frequency of crime, according to Trulia.

In the last year, Baltimore police have made more than 1,300 arrests in Druid Heights, including 129 burglaries, 143 thefts, and 289 assaults.

In his Twitter rant, Trump also called Baltimore a place where 'no human being would want to live'.

Trump attacked Cummings on Saturday and claimed Baltimore is 'disgusting' and 'rat and rodent infested.' He also said no 'human being' would want to live there, which prompted many to say the tweets were racially motivated

Trump said Cummings was a 'bully' to Customs and Border Patrol agents and claimed the situations at border facilities are better than in Baltimore, which Cummings represents in Congress

Trump's use of the word 'infested' to describe Baltimore as well as other districts represented by minority lawmakers prompted many to accuse him of racism.

Trump’s feud with Cummings entered its fifth day Wednesday when the president tweeted a video of the Congressman referring to Baltimore as a ‘drug infested area’ to discredit claims that his own comments about the city were racist.

The clip, which appears to be from a congressional hearing in 1999, documents Cummings lamenting the Maryland city’s overwhelming drug problems.

The House Oversight Committee Chairman goes on to claim that the city's streets are filled with addicted children who resemble ‘zombies’.

‘I left my community of Baltimore, a drug-infested area where a lot of the drugs we’re talking about today have already taken the lives of so many children,’ Cummings can be heard saying in the clip.

‘The same children I watched 14 or 15 years ago as they grew up are now walking around like Zombies. This is only 40 miles away from [Washington DC].’

In relation to Cumming’s utterance, Trump tweeted that the footage proves to ‘radical left dems’ that his indictments of Baltimore as a ‘drug-infested area’ this week weren’t racist as many - including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi - had claimed.

His son Don Jr. agreed, insisting that if his father is racist for using the term, then Cummings himself is also ‘Obviously racist… Right? Those are the rules!’

Meanwhile, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan told Fox News on Thursday that he believes Trump's tweets were 'inappropriate.'

In his first televised comments since the Trump-Cummings row erupted, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan (above) said that the dust-up could have a positive impact by bringing the issue of inner city neglect to the forefront of the public discussion

In his first televised comments since the Trump-Cummings row erupted, Hogan said that the dust-up could have a positive impact by bringing the issue of inner city neglect to the forefront of the public discussion.

'I think it's good that we're paying attention to the problems in Baltimore and I'd like everybody - from the president and his administration to Congress, to work with us at the state level to see what we could do to work together and fix the problem,' the Republican governor said.

Hogan added that the issue of Baltimore is 'deeper' than race.

'I think the reality is deeper,' he said.

'We've failed in our urban areas across the country and Baltimore certainly is a perfect example of that and the leadership has failed for decades and decades.'

Hogan said that Baltimore's mayors deserve a fair share of the blame for how the city has been run.

'I wouldn't put all the blame of Baltimore City on Elijah Cummings but I also think he could do a lot more to help us,' he said.
