WASHINGTON — Federal officials executed raids today in Cherry Hill and Camden in connection to the attempted Times Square bombing.
“We are conducting investigative action in Cherry Hill and Camden,” Special Agent J.J. Klaver, a spokesman for the Philadelphia FBI office said. Klaver said no arrests were made in the raids.
A law enforcement official said that the raids were being executed at a printing shop in Camden and a residence in Cherry Hill.
Authorities also conducted raids in Massachusetts and New York in connection with the failed Times Square car bomb. Two people were arrested, federal authorities and witnesses said.
The searches were the product of evidence gathered in the investigation into Faisal Shahzad's alleged bombing attempt two weeks ago, but there was "no known immediate threat to the public or any active plot against the United States," FBI spokeswoman Gail Marcinkiewicz said.
Marcinkiewicz would not confirm any addresses, but police cordoned off a small house in Watertown, a suburb about 10 miles west of Boston, and a neighbor reported seeing an FBI raid there.
A Mobil gas station in Brookline, another Boston suburb, also was raided. The entrances and exits to the station were cordoned off by yellow tape, and FBI agents were going in and out of the building. Agents also searched a silver Honda in the parking lot, removing items from the vehicle and loading material into an SUV.
Elias Audy, 60, of Boston, is listed at the owner of the Mobil station. He was seen by reporters leaving the business afterward and had no comment.
FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said locations in Long Island also were searched.

Attorney General Eric Holder has told Congress that "several people" have been taken into custody for immigration violations in the Times Square case.
In describing the development at a House Judiciary Committee hearing, the attorney general said the arrests came as investigators looking into the bombing attempt executed search warrants at locations he did not specify but said they were in the Northeast.
Holder said the latest action came on today morning and was "the product of evidence gathered in the investigation" of the Times Square bombing attempt.
A Justice Department spokesman said earlier that two people are in federal custody after search warrants were issued in connection with the Times Square bombing investigation.
Shahzad, 30, is accused of trying to detonate a bomb-laden SUV in Times Square on May 1. The vehicle smoldered but didn't explode. Federal agents, tracing Shahzad through the SUV's previous owner, caught him two days later on a plane bound for the United Arab Emirates as it was departing New York's Kennedy Airport.
Shahzad has not yet appeared in court. Federal investigators said he has been cooperating and has told them he received weapons training in Pakistan.
