BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed to BocaNewsNow.com Thursday morning that agents are on the scene of a home in the gated community of “Boca Bridges.” While witnesses tell BocaNewsNow.com that it appears to be a raid, FBI Spokesperson Jim Marshall would only confirm “activity” is underway.
“I can confirm that the FBI is in the vicinity of that location conducting court ordered law enforcement activity,” said Marshall. “As this is part of an ongoing investigation, no further information is available at this time.”
According to information obtained by BocaNewsNow.com, the FBi activity is taking place in the 9000 block of Macchiato Avenue. We are withholding the specific address until further confirmation is received.
It was not immediately clear if anyone was taken into custody, or what — if anything — was removed from the residence. It was also unclear if the activity may be supplementing an investigation unrelated to the people residing in the residence.
Boca Bridges is located north of Clint Moore Road between Lyons and U.S. 441. The Boca Bridges activity comes just days after the FBI raided a home in neighboring Seven Bridges. That’s when 68-year-old Ron Frankel was taken into custody for allegedly transporting a minor over state line for sex. He is accused of flying a teenager from Iowa to South Florida to engage in sexual activity.
