27 NEWSFIRST has learned federal law enforcement authorities are investigating a Lexington business.
Agents executed search warrants at Galls Incorporated on Palumbo Drive and a warehouse on Russell Cave Road.
Galls is a national supplier of police and emergency services equipment.
Among the agencies involved in the investigation are the Homeland Security Cabinet and the Department of Defense. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office tells 27 NEWSFIRST, Federal officials are investigating whether the company had a license to send gear to restricted countries. They're also looking into any wrongdoing by company employees.
Employees were told to go home for the day. Federal agents kept supervisors inside.
The search is expected to last for much of the day.
Well, if 27 NEWSFIRST would read FR, they'd have known about this for hours now ;0)
Who's going to sue them for not being 'first'?
LOL... MoveOn.org, perhaps, for "False Advertising"? LOL
I've been to Gall's many times when I lived up there. It's a good reputable business. I can't imagine what they sell that would get Homeland Security worried. Unless maybe it's gen 3 night vision or something?
