raid

The FBI has opened an investigation into dealings between the City of Baldwin Park and the cannabis industry.

It was the largest series of raids ever conducted against illegal marijuana retailers in the City of Los Angeles, state regulators said.

The Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office’s handling of a massive settlement with L.A. DWP customers has been thrust into the spotlight following FBI raids on the City Attorney’s Office last week.

Authorities would not confirm the nature of the probe, but they brought with them trained canines used to detect hidden electronic devices such thumb drives and cell phones.
