Ben Affleck’s neighborhood has seen an increase in security presence, with the military joining the FBI and police in patrolling the area. A sand-colored Humvee was spotted parked outside Affleck’s home, equipped with a machine gun turret.
The increased security is likely due to the recent wildfires in the area. Affleck’s house is located near the edge of the evacuation zone, and the National Guard has been deployed to assist with firefighting efforts.
Affleck was photographed returning home and driving past the Humvee without any apparent concern. It does not appear that the actor is the target of any investigations or security concerns.
Earlier this week, FBI agents visited Affleck’s house to investigate a drone that collided with a firefighting aircraft. Our sources indicate that Affleck is not the subject of the FBI probe.
A few days later, Affleck was seen in a tense conversation with police officers. The conversation is believed to have centered around private security officers giving him difficulty while entering and exiting the neighborhood.
