INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WOWO) — A federal raid early Tuesday morning disrupted a usually quiet neighborhood on the northeast side of Indianapolis.

A person who lives across the street from the home at 3330 North Tacoma Avenue said multiple people were taken into custody during the operation, which started around 5 a.m. Federal agents and local police surrounded the house as a helicopter hovered overhead and bright lights lit up the area.

“This neighborhood is pretty quiet for the most part, especially on this block,” the resident said. “A lot of seniors live here, and we’ve never seen anything like this.”

Numerous police vehicles and officers in tactical gear were visible, though the bright lighting made it difficult to see exactly what was happening.

“It wasn’t real clear to me because of all the bright lights they had going on,” the resident said. “But there was definitely some interruption over there.”

IMPD said officers were called to the scene to assist while also working a separate investigation at the location and referred further questions to the Department of Homeland Security.

We are still waiting to hear back from ICE for additional information.
