DENVER ( KDVR ) — The Denver Police Department and Aurora SWAT team served a narcotics-related search warrant in Aurora on Wednesday that they say was connected to a suspected fentanyl operation.
The search was in conjunction with Homeland Security and Drug Enforcement Administration and was marked by a brief shelter-in-place warning.
Just after 7 a.m. on Wednesday, the Aurora Police Department posted on X that APD SWAT was serving a search warrant in the 1800 block of South Olathe Street. The area is east of Horseshoe Park in the Stone Ridge Park neighborhood, and a shelter-in-place order was in effect for around 40 minutes.
However, officers were expected to be in the area for several hours and remained at the house as of Wednesday afternoon.
At about 1:42 p.m., the Denver agency reported that they had worked in coordination with Homeland Security Investigations and the Drug Enforcement Agency on a months-long operation resulting in a search warrant in the 1800 block of South Olathe Street.
