“We’re looking to see if there was criminality,” Heckler said.
Multiple sources have confirmed the evidence taken from the Bristol Township offices was a contract with a local contractor. Investigators closed off the License and Inspections office for about four hours while the warrant executed, according to several people with knowledge of the morning’s incident.
“They just kicked everyone out,” a source familiar with the search said.
