Red warning signs warned passers-by to stay away from a Gwinnett County property, where chemicals could still be lingering after a drug raid.
Six people wearing hazmat gear were arrested Tuesday afternoon inside a rented house on Harbins Road, officials said.
Neighbor Simone Jarvis told Channel 2 Action News she saw the suspects being handcuffed and loaded into police vans shortly after noon.
Drugs and other hazardous materials were found in the house, which is across the street from a day care center, Channel 2 reported.
“That can blow up a large community; it can hurt a lot of people,” Jarvis said. “It’s a real dangerous thing.”
The homeowner said he only rented the house out a week ago.
The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office said details will be limited while the investigation is ongoing.
