Federal agents from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spent close to 12 hours riffling through a Greenwood Avenue home confiscating dozens of items, most of them concealed in boxes and drawers, which were loaded into a storage truck. A spokeswoman for U.S. Fish and Wildlife said agents were “serving a federal search warrant” on a federal investigation. She refused to give details about the nature of the search, citing a sealed warrant, and the need to "protect the integrity of the investigation," which is continuing. -- Journal staff writer Cynthia Needham The state Department of Environmental Management assisted in the effort, but spokeswoman Stephanie Powell declined to discuss the raid because it was a federal investigation. The occupants of the house – said to be a couple -- were present at the time of the search, and neighbors said they stayed in their Greenwood Avenue home after the agents left last night. There is conflicting information about the exact street address. By this morning, the local rumor mill was churning as neighbors speculated about what exactly had been removed from the ranch-style house and whether the presence of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife meant there were animals involved.
