TAMPA -
State, local and federal investigators swooped in Tuesday morning to search four Ken Drugs stores and offices in Tampa.
Authorities would not disclose the focus of what they described as an ongoing investigation.
About 50 investigators from the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office searched facilities on West Waters Avenue, North Dale Mabry Highway, North Habana Avenue and West Columbus Drive.
At each location, investigators parked a small U-Haul truck ready to cart off boxes of records.
``I can confirm the DEA served search warrants at several Ken Drugs locations, but beyond that, I cannot say anything more,'' said Steve Cole, spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Tampa. ``There were no arrests made today.''
Dominick Albanese, special agent in charge of the Tampa DEA office, said the investigation encompasses Tampa and Kentucky, and that other search warrants were executed outside of Tampa. He would not elaborate.
Kentucky State Police referred questions to the DEA.
Ken Drugs President Kenneth Shobola could not be reached for comment.
Investigators converged on the Ken Drugs store and Kenaday Medical Clinic at 1612 W. Waters Ave. just before 9:30 a.m. While some searched inside, two others combed through the contents of a trash bin outside, taking note of address labels on cardboard boxes.

TFETTIS - If you are a legitimite user of pain meds with records and scripted through a valid MD (even on-line phone consult) I would'nt worry at all.
The LE was probibly looking for illegal activity like selling scheduled narcotics without a valid perscription (which would be on Ken Drugs) or purchases made for resale on the black/grey market (on th epart of KEn D's customers) Things like qty or frequency of shipment to a particular address exceeding normal medically needed quantities.
I know because on one or two narcotics my 90 day purchases can be from 360-540 tablets. But really LE and Customs/FDA are just doing their job. The few I have had to talk to about this have been very sympathetic and understanding. There are chronic pain suffers in all branches of LE, or at a minimum the have a friend or family member that suffers, too.

R U afraid since they got busted and U were a customer U get busted maybe? if so dont worry. if you were legit and not DDing I dont imagien they'd hunt down everyone that operation prescribed to but just shut down the operation.
