Note: This story was last updated at 12:50 a.m. May 25.

A local store that sells used books, music, and electronics was closed Thursday afternoon, and law enforcement officers were at the business for reasons that haven’t been been disclosed yet.

A crime scene truck from the Seventh Judicial Crime Task Force was parked in front of McGuire Books, Music, Games, DVDs, Electronics at about 5 p.m. Thursday. So was a large moving truck. The entrance to the store was taped off with crime scene tape.

Russell Barker and other members of the Seventh Judicial Crime Task Force were at the store, which is off South Illinois Avenue near South Tulane Avenue, and so was Seventh Judicial District Attorney General Dave Clark.

More large moving trucks were in a parking lot near the store, although it wasn’t immediately clear if they were connected to the investigation, and the Anderson County Sheriff’s Department was also present.

Authorities declined to describe what they were investigating or say how long they had been at McGuire.

The investigation is described as a local or state investigation, as opposed to a federal one.

More information will be added as it becomes available.

See this newer story for more information.
