Residents of a neighborhood in Edinburg said they have several questions after a house in the area was raided early Thursday morning by local and federal authorities.

Neighbors on North Gwin Road said they were woken up Thursday at around 5:30 a.m. by what they described as an overwhelming police presence in their neighborhood.

King Freeland said he and his wife woke up to see their neighbor’s house surrounded by law enforcement, and provided Channel 5 News with video of the raid.

The video shows law enforcement officers focusing their efforts on a small yellow house located on a lot near Freeland’s home. 

Channel 5 News was able to confirm that agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations and deputies with the Hidalgo County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office were at the scene.

None of the agencies provided details on the investigation, and they all said it’s part of an ongoing investigation.

Hidalgo County Precinct 4 Constable Atanacio “J.R.” Gaitan told Channel 5 News there were related raids in other cities, but could not elaborate.

Watch the video above for the full story.
