WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Multiple law enforcement agencies executed a large-scale gang and racketeering operation Wednesday across several locations in Warner Robins.

According to a news release from the City of Warner Robins, there are multiple active search warrants being served across the city, which may cause temporary traffic impacts in those areas.

“We are asking for the community’s patience as we accomplish these above-mentioned activities,” the release said.

The release said the coordinated operation involved the Warner Robins Police Department’s Narcotics Investigations Unit and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Middle Georgia Gang Task Force.
