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.
