"They were outside. They congregated outside for at least a half hour. And then one of their vehicles rolled up and they got a lot of pry bars and equipment out of the truck. And started going into the building. into one of the offices. It appeared that they were looking to start prying open things,” David Halaska, Operations Manager Chem Solution.

FBI said there were other locations being searched today including businesses and job sites.
