Federal law enforcement agents search Bridgewater’s home as part of ongoing investigation – Boston 25 News

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. – There was a “significant police presence” in a Bridgewater neighborhood Wednesday morning during an ongoing investigation, authorities said.

Neighbors tell Boston 25 that a team of law enforcement officers, including ATF agents, searched a home on Beebe Road in Bridgewater.

“Exactly at 6:30 a.m. I heard the bang, the stun grenade, two of them,” said neighbor Louis Almond

When neighbors woke up, they discovered there was a heavy police presence outside 16 Beebe Road.

Two early morning explosions knocked neighbors from their beds. “I heard the first bang and woke myself up. I heard the second bang and jumped out of bed,” said neighbor Lauren Lang.

A neighbor said he saw a man being taken into custody.

According to Boston 25, federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms conducted the raid in Bridgewater as well as other communities, including Swansea.

Some neighbors who have lived on or near Beebe Road for 50 years say they can’t remember another day like this.

“It could be guns, it could be money, I have no idea, I had no idea what was going on,” Almond said.

“We all know each other, but we really don’t know her. That’s the crazy thing,” Lang added.

Further details were not initially available.
