UPDATE: The Atascadero Police Department says police activity along the 4900 block of Carrizo Road Wednesday morning was related to a stolen property and narcotics search warrant being served at two adjoining properties.
“The Atascadero Police Department has responded to these particular residences many times in the past few months regarding assaults, theft and narcotics-related activity,” police said in a press release.
The search warrant came after police say they received information that narcotics sales may have been taking place at the homes.
The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Detail, or SWAT, was called out after police also learned stolen firearms may have been at the locations and the situation was deemed “high risk.”
No other information is being released by authorities at this time.
