MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A combined law enforcement agency raid went well into the night as officers and agents detained three suspects, including one man wanted for murder in Orange County, Florida.
It went down at 10:30 Thursday morning and it was caught on surveillance video.
Video showed as two swat team trucks and a line of undercover cars swept into a warehouse facility on NW 107th Street.
Chopper4 was over the scene as the operation started and the warehouse door was knocked down.
"I see cash and guns, a lot of guns. I do not know what kind of guns but they were pulling out lots of stuff," said Tariq Jarrar.
Law enforcement sources confirmed to CBS4 that this was an FBI led operation, with help from the Miami-Dade Police Department, ATF, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Hazmat Team and the State Department of Environmental Protection.
Warehouse tenants warned to get off the property.
"'Ya gotta leave,' the cops say. There are bomb producing materials or at least chemical that might blow up," explained Bob Latimer.
Officers removed boxes apparently full of evidence and eventually took the three suspects into custody and at the end of the day.
They not only took down a man wanted for murder, but also busted what appears to be a drug operation.
"I did see a U-Haul coming in and out a lot, but I don't know what they were doing, I can't tell you for sure," Latimer said.
