A large multi-agency law enforcement operation took place Thursday morning in Fresno and Kings counties, as officers served search warrants at multiple homes tied to ongoing violent crime investigations, the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

Officials clarified that the operation was not related to immigration enforcement and that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were not involved.

Authorities said more information about the operation would be released later.

The coordinated effort reflects continued focus by local law enforcement on addressing violent crime in the Central Valley region, authorities said.
