BENSENVILLE, Ill. – Federal agents carried out a raid Wednesday morning at a suburban Chicago facility that distributes vaping products.
What we know:
A FOX 32 crew observed U.S. Marshals and other federal agents entering and exiting Midwest Distribution/Midwest Goods, Inc. on Foster Avenue in Bensenville.
After the raid, a table displaying various vaping products was set up outside the facility.
Dig deeper:
Meanwhile, nearby in suburban Wood Dale, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., were scheduled to hold a news conference at 12:30 p.m.
The event will reportedly focus on a multi-agency effort to address illicit vaping products, though it was not immediately clear if the raid was directly connected to that announcement.
Founded in 2014, Midwest Distribution describes itself on LinkedIn as “one of the largest wholesale distributors of vape and electronic cigarette products in the United States.”
FOX 32 has reached out to the proper authorities for comment and we’re waiting to hear back.
