SAN DIEGO — Law enforcement agents served federal search warrants Wednesday morning on at least three locations in the Grantville and Del Cerro neighborhoods of San Diego.

The warrants were served at the Autohaus San Diego car lot on Mission Gorge Road, a home on Park Ridge Boulevard and a home on Madra Avenue.

Agencies involved in the raid at the car lot included the FBI, Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Border Patrol, Sheriff’s Department and El Cajon police. Federal officers were seen carrying computers and boxes in and out of what appeared to be an office at the lot. The glass on the bottom half of the office door was broken.

The car lot sells high-end vehicles, such as Mercedes, Land Rovers and BMWs.

At least two people were seen being led away in handcuffs.

Debra Hartman, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, said about the search warrants: “A law enforcement action is being executed, and we are not going to be commenting right now.”

No further information on the investigation was released Wednesday morning.
