FBI agents raided the home of Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao Thursday morning, sources told CBS News Bay Area.
Agents served warrants at Thao's house on Maiden Lane in the city's Lincoln Highlands neighborhood at around 5:30 a.m. In an emailed statement to CBS News Bay Area, the FBI said, 'The FBI is conducting court authorized law enforcement activity on Maiden Lane. We are unable to provide additional information at this time.' Just after 10 a.m., several FBI agents emerged from the home carrying boxes as news crews staked out positions across the street.
The FBI was also serving a warrant on at least one other property nearby, a home on Viewcrest Court in the city's Ridgemont neighborhood. It was not immediately confirmed the raids were connected. CBS News Bay Area has reached out to Mayor Thao's office about a response to the raid. Thao was a no-show Thursday morning at a scheduled press conference in San Francisco on affordable housing with the mayors of San Francisco, San Jose and Berkeley.
