Update: Novato shelter-in-place lifted following police serving a search warrant
NOVATO -- A shelter-in-place order issued Friday morning in Novato was so authorities could safely carry out a search warrant, police said.
Police shut down Sunset Parkway between Shon Drive and Midway Boulevard around 9:30 a.m due to the operation in the 700 block of Sunset Parkway.
Residents in the 700 blocks of Sunset Parkway and Shevelin Road were asked to remain indoors due to the number of police vehicles involved in the operation, Novato police said.
"Due to the potential for weapons being involved and to ensure the safety of our community and first responders, the Crisis Response Unit served the warrant in support of our detectives," the department said.
According to police, several items of evidence were recovered from the search.
