OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) — A home associated with Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao was among four houses raided by the FBI Thursday morning, a source confirms to ABC7 News.
The FBI provided this statement Thursday morning:
“The FBI is conducting court authorized law enforcement activity on Maiden Lane. We are unable to provide additional information at this time.”
A neighbor visiting from San Diego told ABC7 News that she was woken up by law enforcement banging on her door around 6 a.m.
The investigation is on Maiden Lane in the Oakland Hills.
ABC7 News insider Phil Matier says that according to a law enforcement source, the location is one of four locations in Oakland where warrants have been issued and served.
An ABC7 News crew on scene said there were several unmarked vehicles at the house.
It remains unknown why the FBI was at the house. Mayor Thao was supposed to appear at an event Thursday morning at 10 a.m., but she has canceled.
This comes as recall organizers have called on Thao to resign as mayor. The recall effort has gotten enough signatures to appear on a ballot.
