Residents and drivers are being asked to avoid some neighborhoods in Wethersfield amid a police investigation.
Wethersfield police said the area of Prospect Street and Willow Street to Prospect Street and Ridge Road is closed off.
Officers are trying to serve an active arrest warrant, police said.
Drivers are asked to use alternate routes and avoid the area. The scene is active but contained, police said.
Witnesses told FOX61 News that it was a SWAT investigation in the Collier Farms neighborhood and that residents have been asked to stay indoors.
"We received a text message to shelter in place and we had to respond to it," said Susan Clark of Wethersfield. "I received a phone call also with an automated call from the Wethersfield police requesting acknowledgment of the shelter in place," she said.
Multiple agencies, including the Capital Region Emergency Services Team (C.R.E.S.T), East Hampton Police Department and Newington Police Department, are assisting, Wethersfield police said.
Neighbors said police had been on the scene since at least the morning.
"This was at about 11-ish and the police were there and that little entrance to the cul de sac was blocked by a police officer," Clark said. "Something escalated between 11 and 1," she said.
