INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Marion County Sheriff’s Office is conducting a “large-scale law enforcement operation” on the city’s near-east side Wednesday morning.
Just after 8:40 a.m., the sheriff’s office announced the operation on Twitter and said it was taking place in the area of 10th and Rural Streets.
MCSO asked people to be aware of a police presence in the area “for the next several hours.”
Police are shutting down traffic in the area, including at 9th and Olney Streets and 9th and LaSalle Streets.
The sheriff’s office says additional details are forthcoming.
Deputies say the operation is unrelated to a nearby shooting scene being investigated by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
