BILLERICA, MASS. (WHDH) - The FBI plans searched the Concord River in Billerica for “specific evidence in an ongoing investigation” Monday.
The agency’s underwater search and evidence response team out of New York began searching the Concord River at 9 a.m. The FBI said they aren’t looking for human remains and there is no threat to public safety. One lane of the River Street Bridge was closed while officials conduct their search.
“We recognize the traffic disruptions this may cause and are working as expeditiously as possible to complete the operation,” the FBI said in a statement Monday morning. “We appreciate the public’s patience as we conduct this important law enforcement activity.”
“You never know, the Concord River’s a big river, it’s been here forever,” said Diane Stanley, who lives in the area. “Who knows what could be out there? That’s kinda creepy.”
