Nov 08, 2024
Federal agents, including members of the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, joined Miami Gardens Police early Thursday morning in a raid on a home.
The operation occurred near Northwest 159th Street and Northwest 28th Place around 4 a.m.
Aerial footage from 7Skyforce showed federal agents, SWAT vehicles, and K-9 units surrounding the property.
“So I was in the shower and I heard the loud bang,” said a witness. “Then, when I came outside, I saw all the lights, I saw they brought out a man.”
“We’ve got more SWAT team, looks like they busted out the fence in the front of this house here,” said a witness. “They have multiple people in custody.”
Three men were detained during the raid but witnesses told 7News that they were later released. Officials took at least one man into custody in zip tie cuffs.
During their investigation, officials were looking at carport, where a large boat was parked. They also search the the back of the property.
The FBI confirmed their investigation to 7News but would not go into details about what brought them there.
Homeland Security investigates crimes involving the movement of people, money, goods, guns and drugs, according to their website.
“It’s crazy, I didn’t know. I never saw them come outside,” said a witness.
Authorities have not disclosed the purpose of the raid or confirmed if any arrests were made.
They also said there is no threat to the public.
A tow truck arrived at the scene and are attempting to get the boat out of the canopy.
