Numerous officers were seen outside the Shark Tank skills arcade on Freedom Drive in west Charlotte.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Multiple people were taken into custody during a SWAT operation at west Charlotte skills arcade on Tuesday morning.
It happened around 7 a.m. at the Shark Tank skill arcade near the Cash America Pawn on Freedom Drive. This is near the Freedom Village Shopping Center in west Charlotte. WCNC Charlotte’s crews saw several Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police cruisers and SWAT officers at the scene.
Greg Miller runs Figs Auto Repair, just next door to the arcade. He saw the moment officers arrived on scene.
“Before I knew it there was a SWAT team and everybody with their guns out and everything going on over there,” he said.
Miller added it’s not the first time he’s seen law enforcement outside the arcade.
“I wouldn’t say it’s real frequent but it, it definitely happens,” he said. “When something’s going on, that’s probably where it is for sure.”
Multiple people were seen being taken into custody. As of publication, CMPD hasn’t given any further details about what happened.
The front door of the business appeared to be broken down. It’s unclear why officers were called to the business or if anyone was hurt during the incident.
CMPD hasn’t identified any of the people taken into custody or announced any charges.
