Governor Pence Commends FBI and All Law Enforcement in Arrest of Radicalized Brownsburg Teenager

Indianapolis – Governor Mike Pence today issued the following statement after the Federal Bureau of Investigation and supporting law enforcement agencies coordinated the arrest in Indianapolis of a suspected radicalized Brownsburg teenager:

“We commend the FBI and law enforcement officers at every level in this state for the efforts that led to the apprehension of a radicalized Brownsburg teenager who was attempting to join terrorist forces in the Middle East. The apprehension of this suspect is an example of collaboration at the highest level of law enforcement and because of these actions, there is no doubt that Indiana is a safer place.

“While every Hoosier should draw comfort from this successful effort by our law enforcement community, we must not lose sight of that fact that, in light of the most recent terrorist attacks in Orlando and San Bernardino, no community is immune from this new threat. In these challenging times, it is essential that all Hoosiers exercise vigilance and report any suspicious activities to the appropriate law enforcement authorities. In short, if you see something say something.”
