Federal investigators descended upon a Fairfield Street residence in Newton on Wednesday.
The agency confirmed their presence on the scene, stating they were undertaking “court-authorized law enforcement activity” at the property. However, they declined to delve into specifics, keeping a veil of secrecy over their search, as NBC Boston reports. For hours, investigators meticulously inspected each level of the home, even excavating the basement and attic. Witnesses glimpsed officials briefly exiting the house with bags containing what appeared to be bottles as per the WHDH report.
One neighbor, Lana Bornstein, shared her nervousness with 7NEWS, noting, “It’s unnerving to see so much activity without knowing what’s going on. With the tents and the dogs and the hovering helicopter, that’s a lot.”
Federal agents did assure neighbors that there is no immediate concern to the public as NBC Boston stated.
