(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — An FBI raid woke up a peaceful North Side neighborhood Thursday morning.

Officials have confirmed that a raid was conducted on a home in the 2200 block of West Farragut in Lincoln Square.

Authorities say dozens of officers, a few drones, and even flash bangs were used and a smashed window can be seen from the street. Neighbors say they suspect that at least one person who lived in the home has gang ties.

The street is generally quiet, so neighbors were shocked by the raid.

A statement from 40th ward, Alderman Andre Vasquez says he will share more information about the incident as it becomes available.
