We are pleased to report that there is no longer a police presence in the areas of Maple, Sesame and Wheeler Streets and that the roads are now reopened to all traffic.
We would like to thank all residents for their understanding and cooperation as this event was ongoing. Our residents’ patience never wavered, making it easier for us and our federal law enforcement partners to do their jobs effectively.
I would also like to thank all town departments and local agencies who assisted us and provided additional coverage.
This was a major law enforcement response that garnered national attention, however, the Dighton community handled it with poise.
At this time, any inquiries regarding the incident should be directed to the FBI.
