SUMMARY: FBI agents conducted a raid this noon in the quiet Hunters Mark neighborhood of Wake County, specifically at a home on Hay River Street, near the Amazon fulfillment center. The operation, visible with agents searching vehicles and the house, involved towing a pickup truck from the scene. A resident, who identified himself as co-owner of an auto repair business, stated that agents were seeking information related to transactions. The community was startled by the early morning activity, and the investigation is ongoing as officials gather more details. Updates will be provided as the situation develops.

The FBI on Tuesday executed a search warrant at a Garner home, and WRAL News spoke to the man who lived there.

Before 9:15 a.m., there was a law enforcement presence at a home on Hay River Street in Garner, within the Hunters Mark subdivision, close to the Amazon Distribution Center on Jones Sausage Road. Agents were coming in and out of the home and searching multiple vehicles parked in the driveway. The agents were opening the doors and hoods of the vehicles, searching through them and taking photos.

A pickup truck was towed away from the home. The scene cleared by 11:45 a.m.

A spokesperson from the FBI could not provide additional details about the search warrant or why agents were at the home, but WRAL News spoke to a man who appeared to live in the home when he got into his car to drive away.

“They just searched my cars and searched me, that’s all,” the man described.

When WRAL News asked the man if he knew what the FBI was looking for, the man answered, “Information, I guess … related to transactions, that’s all they could tell me.”

The man said he is a co-owner of an automotive repair business, and the transactions involved that business.

SUMMARY: The UNC Board of Trustees met amid uncertainty over $70 million budget cuts due to reduced state and federal research funding. The university plans to cut spending on catering, procurement, and consolidate positions, leading to administrative staff reductions and elimination of vacant roles. A faculty retirement incentive program will be introduced. Financial aid for out-of-state students will be reduced from 44% to 18%, prioritizing North Carolina residents for enrollment. Chancellor Roberts emphasized these difficult decisions are necessary amid fiscal uncertainty and layoffs would be a last resort, with efforts focused on transparency and managing anxieties among university staff and students.
