🕵️ FBI agents swoop into Dayton for second time in a week. Law enforcement conducted "court-authorized activity" Monday in the 400 block of Ostrander Avenue and Sylvan Drive area, following a separate operation on Graystone Drive in Trotwood last Wednesday. Officials from the FBI's Cincinnati office confirmed the presence but released limited details, describing it as part of an "ongoing investigation." It remains unclear whether the two operations are connected or if any arrests were made. The FBI has declined to provide additional information about the nature of these activities.
