HERE'S THE FBI

Fitchburg woman and daughter ‘terrified’ as saw rips down door after getting wrong address in drug sweep

By Michael Hartwell, mhartwell@sentinelandenterprise.com
FITCHBURG — It was a horror movie come to life.

Judy Sanchez woke Thursday to the sound of heavy footsteps in her stairwell, followed by a loud motor. She got to her kitchen in time to see the blade of a chain saw rip through her front door.

“It was so crazy,” Judy Sanchez said. “I was terrified.”

Jan. 26 was the day of Operation Red Wolf, a multiagency sweep during which 16 people in Fitchburg were arrested on charges related to gang activity, drug trafficking and illegal gun sales after a two-year investigation by federal, state and local law-enforcement officers.

The people sawing through her door were FBI agents, looking for a gang member suspected of trafficking cocaine. But they went to the wrong address.
