NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass. – At least a dozen state and local police officers could be seen searching the North Attleboro home of Aaron Hernandez on Saturday afternoon.
The move comes a day after sources told ABC News police had issued search and arrest warrants for the New England Patriots tight-end.
At least two State Police K-9 units were also on scene, and were led through the yard, around cars on the property inside the home. Detectives could be seen entering and exiting the house wearing rubber gloves and carrying bags.
So far, there has been no indication that Hernandez has been arrested. On Friday, an arrest warrant was reportedly issued on obstruction of justice charges.
ABC news reports that investigators Hernandez intentionally damaged his security system and broke his cell phone after police began investigating the death of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd.
Police were still on scene as of 3pm Saturday. ABC6 will have more information as it becomes available.
