A heavy police presence could be seen in a residential area across the street from a Dubuque daycare Thursday evening.

Two houses could be seen blocked off with police tape in the 2300 block of Central Avenue in Dubuque around 10:30 p.m. but police cleared it up before they left.

An Iowa's News Now crew on the scene Thursday night saw police pulling away from the scene just before 10:45 p.m.

Law enforcement on scene told Iowa's News Now they were not at liberty to discuss what had happened, but will release more details as they become available.
