GALVESTON — The Galveston Police Department is executing multiple search and arrest warrants at locations on and off Galveston Island as part of an ongoing investigation.

The operations follow several months of investigative work by the department’s Vice and Narcotics Unit, according to police.

Numerous users on social media have reported police presence at several business locations throughout town, including yellow tape at some locations.

Police have been reported in the 5200 Block of Avenue S, at Corner Pocket Bar, but we are working to confirm if that is a separate issue or related to the warrants.

Authorities have not released additional details, citing the active nature of the investigation and the need to protect its integrity and the safety of those involved.

The department said it will provide more information when it is appropriate to do so.

This is an active story and this article will be updated as additional information is received.
