BELTON, Texas — Throughout the summer, I am always looking for a place that has few people and invites a peaceful moment. When doing a little search on the internet,
Temple Police Department officers assisted federal agents in a raid Thursday at a home on FM 2271 near the Miller Springs Nature Center.
A raid occurred at about 7 a.m. Thursday morning in the 1200 block of FM 2271 in Temple, a few feet away from the nature center entrance near Lake Belton. A home with a detached garage on the east side of the road was targeted by law enforcement officers.
Neighbors said they noticed an increase in vehicular traffic at the home over the last several months.
FM 2271 was shut down for a short time during the incident. Officers and federal agents remained at the home for about four hours.
Itâs time for residents to help clean up Miller Springs Nature Center.
The city of Belton is hosting a volunteer event 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday to clean up the nature center. People who want to help out with the cleanup event should meet at the nature centerâs parking lot at 1473 FM 2271 in Temple.
Organizers urge volunteers to bring a mask that they need to wear when they are within 6 feet of people who do not live in their household.
No registration is required to participate, according to Belton.
Cleaning Miller Springs is not the only item on Saturdayâs agenda. Volunteers will scatter wildflower seeds throughout the nature center and perform minor trail maintenance, according to the Belton Parks and Recreation Department.
