The Terre Haute Police Department is investigating a report of an early morning armed robbery at a northside motel.

Officers were dispatched to the Statesman Inn, located at N. Third Street and Seventh Avenue, and began investigating the incident.

Reports of a large police presence at the scene were relayed to Indiana Central News by passersby just after 11 a.m. -- including information that the Special Response Team was on site.

Information provided by the THPD is limited at this time, however, officials do confirm the Special Response Team was called  to the scene later, following the report of the robbery, to execute a search warrant at the motel.
