POUGHKEEPSIE – Law enforcement from several federal, state, and local agencies conducted simultaneous pre-dawn raids at five locations on Tuesday in the City of Poughkeepsie.
The New York State Police are handling the case that involved personnel from the FBI, ATF, the Ductchess County Sheriff’s Office, City of Poughkeepsie police and other agencies. A helicopter involved in the raids woke many city residents up at 4 a.m. as it hovered over the locations that were being raided.
“This is an ongoing investigation and no additional information is being released yet,” said State Police Troop K Spokesman Aaron Hicks.
Sources have told Mid-Hudson News that guns, drugs, money, and other property was seized when the raids were conducted.
