Officials did not release a statement, other than to say that the search warrant wasn't filed locally and it wasn't the result of a crime against a person.

Anne Fontana said the store was burglarized Oct. 31, but she was not aware of any arrests having been made in the case. Officials removed merchandise from the store during the search, including at least six riding lawn mowers that were hauled away on a flatbed truck.
