NOTICE: April 23 Law Enforcement Presence in Southeastern Michigan

"*Note: A prior version of this release incorrectly stated the date April 24 but these described actions took place yesterday, April 23.*"

*LANSING *— Yesterday, a significant police presence was observed by many individuals and media publications in the cities of Ann Arbor, Canton, and Ypsilanti, as officers from multiple agencies executed search warrants at five locations. Each subject location was a residential home, and no persons were arrested in the course of fulfilling the warrants. In one instance, an entryway was forcibly breached following more than an hour of police efforts to negotiate entry to satisfy the court-authorized search warrant. 

The search warrants, authorized by the 45th District Court, were executed in furtherance of the Michigan Department of Attorney General’s yearlong investigation into coordinated criminal acts of vandalism and property damage occurring in multiple counties in southeastern Michigan. Due to the many, evidently coordinated and related, criminal acts occurring across the jurisdictions of several local law enforcement and prosecutorial authorities, the Department of Attorney General is conducting this unified investigation with the aid of local authorities. 

Many of the acts under investigation were widely contemporarily reported in news media. It is currently estimated that the total damage from these incidents is approximately $100,000. In all cases, the crimes were committed in the middle of the night and in one case upon a residence wherein children were sleeping and awoken. In multiple instances windows were smashed, and twice noxious chemical substances were propelled into homes. At every site, political slogans or messages were left behind. 

A selection of dates and locations when and where acts under investigation occurred follows, including scene photographs:
