BOCA RATON, Fla. — A man was arrested Saturday night in Boca Raton after a man's body was found in an office building at a different location in the city, a police spokeswoman confirmed.

The body of the man was found in the 5499 North Federal Highway at about 4:30 p.m., north of Yamato Road, spokeswoman Jessica Desir told WPTV. The Monterey, which includes various business tenants, is located at that address.

The manner of death was not disclosed.

During their investigation, detectives were led to the 900 block of North Federal Highway, south of Glades Road, about 3 miles away. The area also includes businesses. The SWAT team was called to the location, and the suspect was arrested hours later.

Part of North Federal Highway was blocked off for a few hours during the investigation. The scenes were cleared as of 11 p.m.
