FBI agents swarmed a Coconut Grove business district as they appeared to be conducting an investigation Wednesday afternoon.

FBI tents were set up and trucks parked outside the business along Commodore Plaza. The agency didn’t immediately respond to confirm information on their probe.

Local 10 News and NBC 6 South Florida helicopter footage showed agents appearing to hone in on Miami Fine Art Gallery, 3180 Commodore Plaza, specifically moving pieces of artwork.

Authorities have not said whether the gallery or its owner, Leslie Roberts, is involved in or at the center of their investigation. Roberts has faced multiple lawsuits alleging that works he’s sold were forged.
