The FBI conducted a raid on a home in Hungry Horse Tuesday, but federal officials aren’t releasing any information on the incident at this point.

The Salt Lake City Division of the FBI conducted a planned operation with a federal search warrant on Mountain Drive in Hungry Horse, Sheriff Chuck Curry said. The Flathead County Sheriff’s Office “provided support” to the federal officers with a couple of deputy units, Curry said. He said he could not divulge more information, but he didn’t think there were any arrests in the raid.

A local resident, Zera Bell, posted a video to a public Facebook profile of at least nine vehicles parked on the street at the home. The video shows seven uniformed men standing on a driveway in front of a house and three others walking down the street. The post said the vehicles had been there since 6:30 a.m. and that it was a search warrant for stolen firearms.

FBI Special Agent Todd Palmer said he could not release information on the raid until it is unsealed in federal court in the District of Montana.
