DENVER (KDVR) — The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday morning executed nine search warrants across several different metro Denver counties and cities as part of a “grand jury investigation,” county officials said.
The Sheriff’s Office announced the operation in a Facebook post, saying executions began at 7 a.m. in separate Boulder and Adams counties, and the cities of Denver, Westminster, Wheat Ridge, Federal Heights and Johnstown. The Sheriff’s Office identified more than 20 law enforcement agencies involved in the operation, including drug task forces and the FBI.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is not involved in the operation, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The search warrants were for seven residences and two storage lockers, according to the sheriff’s office.
“These efforts were coordinated and planned to be carried out safely and professionally,” the Sheriff’s Office said.
The Sheriff’s Office did not say what type of investigation the operation was related to or what the case was, although the office said it was related to the Boulder County case.
The Boulder County District Attorney’s Office issued a statement saying the operation is part of a grand jury investigation “conducted by the District Attorney’s Office and local law enforcement,” and that the office will investigate the case.
“Once the indictments are unsealed and the appropriate individuals are in custody, the District Attorney’s Office will issue a press release and release the indictment before the grand jury,” the District Attorney’s Office said.
The operation closed East 104th Avenue in Commerce City between Idalia Street and Landmark Drive, according to the Commerce City Police Department in a Facebook post.
