INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Crime Guns Task Force shut down a drug operation on the south side of Indianapolis last week.

Detectives of the task force, along with IMPD SWAT, executed a search warrant at a home in the 1200 block of Wade Street on Oct. 11.

Police say they were targeting 24-year-old Jilynn Robinson, who was under investigation for dealing a controlled substance while armed and selling illegal machine gun conversion devices in July 2023.

During the search, Robinson and four others were detained. Police say detectives found three Glock variant handguns, half a pound of marijuana, over 200 suspected narcotic pills and more than $7,000 in cash.
