For hours, people in a south Fort Myers community off Iona Road watched as deputies and federal investigators carried dozens of boxes out of a home on Anchorage Way.

"I saw at least 25 police cars and Homeland Security," owner of Judd & Associates Jim Messina said.

Messina is working on a home three doors down and spoke with investigators on Wednesday.

"They're here to remove everything from the house, all the computer software and all that stuff," Messina said. "They walked at least 20 to 30 bundles of stuff out of that house and into their cars."

According to property records, the home is owned by brothers, Edward and Brian Krassenstein. Neighbors said the men are not only twins but business partners.

Neighbors said agents also paid a visit to a house one street over where property records show one of the brothers also owns a home.

"I'm surprised," neighbor Louis Fiore said.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed its agency along with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) executed search warrants in the area. They say that the brothers own a number of websites and that someone may have infiltrated one of them.

"It was an odd combination which makes you wonder," Fiore said.

Federal investigators took electronics and computers from the home for the investigation.

We found the brothers are listed as co-founders of a company called 3Dprint, which is described as a news organization for 3D printing.

We reached out to the company and the brothers but have not heard back.

NBC2 did speak to a former business partner of the brothers who said recently one of the men was subpoenaed for one of his businesses.
