FBI serves warrant on North River Boats
By Dan Bain, KPIC NewsROSEBURG, Ore. -- The FBI public affairs office in Portland says agents that went to the North River Boats facility in Green Thursday are investigating, but they won't say what the focus is yet. Several employees of the company called KPIC and said they were told to go home Thursday. When we called the company Friday, the receptionist said they were open again and all the employees were back on the job. An FBI spokesperson told KPIC that a search warrant was served at the company in the Green District Thursday, and the results of that search warrant are still sealed, but may be available next week. She also said no arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing. The investigation is apparently being conducted by the Eugene office of the FBI. The company so far has no comment on what went on Thursday. North River shut down it's retail operations earlier this year, blaming the bad economy for the downturn in the boating industry. The manufacturing part of the company continued to operate, and owner Brian Brush said that was mainly because of a big government contract to produce a specialty boat. |
