Police investigation closes Old York Road in Philly's West Oak Lane area

A significant police presence could be seen along Old York Road in Philadelphia’s West Oak Lane section on Wednesday as officials were engaged in some kind of investigation.

However, contacted Wednesday, police officials did not immediately say what had brought the police presence — and road closure — to the area.

As seen at about 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, police vehicles had closed the roadway along the 7000 block of Old York Road in Philly’s West Oak Lane section, while officers gathered in the middle of the roadway.

Also, a large, black SWAT vehicle could be seen parked along the sidewalk as officers trained their guns towards a property on the block.

As of about 11:45 a.m., police had not provided additional information on this incident.

But, NBC10 is working to learn more.

This is a breaking news story. It will be updated as new information becomes available.
