“At this time I can state that there is no danger to the public and that the Orangetown Police Department, along with county assets and the FBI, were serving an arrest warrant based on threats that were made to targets, not in the local area," said Day.

The officers converged on Slocum Avenue, off Washington Street, in Tappan, earlier on Wednesday.

The streets are blocked off and all vehicles are being turned away.

Little information is being provided as officers continue working, but Day said a release containing all details will be forthcoming soon from all of the agencies involved.

Orangetown Police declined to comment.
