Federal agents served a search warrant at a West Los Angeles business this week, prompting a response from the Los Angeles Police Department. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency provided further details about the operation on Saturday.
Investigation Details
Los Angeles Police Department personnel were dispatched to the business located in the 11100 block of Tennessee Avenue, near Sepulveda and Olympic boulevards, around 8:15 a.m. On Wednesday to assist federal agents. The search warrant is connected to an ongoing investigation being conducted in partnership with the Torrance Police Department, according to DEA Public Affairs Specialist Rosa Valle-Lopez.
