CARMEL, Ind. (WISH) - Gas crews were investigating three different gas leaks Tuesday morning in Carmel, police dispatchers say.

The first two gas leaks were at 205 Second Ave. NW and the intersection of Central Avenue and 11th Street. As of 11:40 a.m., dispatchers said those two gas leaks were capped.

The third, at West Carmel Drive and Third Avenue SW caused the ground to move up a couple feet, a passerby told police. Crews were still working on that as of noon.

Carmel Fire Department officials say in the third gas leak, a 4-inch low pressure gas line was cut. It was capped at 1 p.m.

Vectren crews handled the leaks. Businesses in the surrounding area were evacuated and traffic was restricted while crews worked on the issues.
