LAWRENCE, MA — Federal agents swarmed a house in Lawrence Monday morning, and an armored vehicle broke through a window before an occupant surrendered, WCVB reported.

"Sky5 arrived overhead at approximately 10:35 a.m. as one of the armored vehicles with a battering ram was used to break a window of the house at 2 Roberta Lane," the WCVB story said. "Within minutes, officers tossed something through the window, which was followed by a burst of smoke."
