Loud Booms in Loveland: Police Reveal What Really Happened

If you heard a lot of loud noises in Loveland during the morning hours, you were certainly not the only one. There were a lot of conversations happening on social media groups, and many Loveland residents were trying to figure out the reason for the loud noises. Especially near 4th street.

Loveland Police Confirm SWAT Training Was the Cause

We now know what happened. The Loveland Police Department acknowledged the noise and complaints and explained that there was training near SE 4th Street on October 22. The Loveland Police Department said that SWAT team training was happening.

Police Address Online Rumors and Explain Controlled Burn Plans

The Loveland Police Department also said that a controlled burn will be happening this week as well. They also addressed the rumours that have been circulating online by saying this.

Controlled Burn Expected Later This Week

The controlled burn will also take place. So if you smell smoke later this week, that is why. When you see rumours floating around on social media, it is important to double-check what people say.
