Several law enforcement agencies participated in the search at the Canal Street mill building including a Massachusetts State Police helicopter, Lawrence police, State Police and K9 units.

Police have not yet identified the man arrested. Fitzpatrick told WBZ that the man worked at the building.
No additional details related to the man's arrest have been released.
The scene was cleared by 6 p.m.
