An FBI team searched the area around Route 88 in Westport on Wednesday, June 3, as part of “an ongoing, multi-jurisdictional investigation,” a spokesperson for the FBI said.

 

“We are searching for specific evidence and there is no threat to public safety,” said FBI spokeswoman Kristen Setera. 

 

She could not comment on the nature of the evidence being searched for.

 

Westport Police said as of 4:30 p.m. there were no road closures on Route 88, and that investigators were no longer on scene.

 

The investigation comes nearly two years after an investigation took place on Route 88 in Westport. It is unknown if the operations are connected.

 

The FBI would not comment on whether the investigation would continue in upcoming days, saying the investigation is “an ongoing matter” and that it could not release further details.
