DCIS raids optics/laser company
Federal agents aren't saying much after executing a search warrant on Thursday at a Front Range business. On Thursday morning, agents with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service raided the Rocky Mountain Instrument Company, a precision optics and coating firm in Lafayette. Agents would not comment on the nature of their search saying the case is still under investigation. According the DCIS Web site, that agency devotes its resources to investigating terrorism, computer crimes and public corruption. However, no arrests have been made and no charges have been filed at this time. Looking at the company's website, it appears that Rocky Mountain Instruments employs a lot of Chinese and has a lot of federal contracts. Does DCIS do counter-espionage? Sounds like someone was exporting restricted items without a permit to me. Posted by: gromky 2007-10-12 |
