ANTHONY, N.M. (AP) ? Officials say federal and local agents issued several warrants in an early morning sweep in a small New Mexico border town.
Anthony police spokeswoman Mary Hall says a team of local and federal law enforcement agents, including SWAT teams, served warrants Wednesday morning in a number of areas. She did not know what type of warrants were served.
FBI spokesman Frank Fisher confirmed that a law enforcement operation was underway but declined to give detail.
The El Paso Times reports (http://bit.ly/11j0tS1 ) several residents reported waking to the sound of loud bangs around 5 a.m. Wednesday. And at least two helicopters were seen flying over the town, with one shining a spotlight over some areas.
Anthony straddles New Mexico and Texas and is 21 miles north of El Paso, Texas.
