Police Chief James O’Connor reports that earlier today the Stoneham Police Department assisted the Boston office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation with a court-ordered action on Hancock Street.
Stoneham Police and Boston FBI did maintain a large police presence in the area. However, at no time was there an imminent danger to the public.
All law enforcement units have now cleared the area.
As this is a federal court action, Stoneham Police are unable to release further information.
