WLS 890-AM has reported this afternoon that the "Blago tapes" - wiretap tapes of phone conversations related to the case of former Governor Rod Blagojevich - along with files relating to the case have been stolen from the offices of Blago's lawyers. We'll update with more info - including specifically which lawyer and any more details we can get - as soon as we have it.

Update: Our pal Jeff Coen has a few details about the break-in over at the Tribune.

Update 2: WLS reports the FBI has taken over the investigation.
