MARION COUNTY, Ind. (WISH) – Marion County Sheriff’s Office conducted a warrant investigation that led to four fugitives’ arrests.

According to the release, when deputies searched a house in the 1200 block of South Kappes Street, they found eight people, two of whom had felony warrants.

When they continued the search in the basement, they went through hidden tunnels and crawl spaces and eventually found two more fugitives with outstanding warrants hiding in a closet.

That neighborhood is a lot safer today thanks to their hard work.”
