Two houses searched in Atascadero

–On Wednesday, the Atascadero Police Department, in partnership with the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office, served a narcotics and stolen property related search warrant at two adjoining properties in the 4900 block of Carrizo Road.

The Atascadero Police Department has responded to these particular residences many times in the past few months regarding assaults, theft and narcotics-related activity. Recently information was obtained that the sale of narcotics may be occurring at the residences and additional information disclosed the possibility of stolen firearms being present as well.

Based on the possibility of stolen firearms being at the locations and violent criminal histories of the alleged involved parties, the Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Detail (SWAT) was requested to serve the warrant as it was deemed high risk based on the above factors.

An update will be provided when more information becomes available.
