I know this is were a lot of security companies get their stuff from...1* might know if its a major supplier of Police stuff.

27 NEWSFIRST has learned federal law enforcement authorities are investigating a Lexington business.

Agents executed search warrants at Galls Incorporated on Palumbo Drive and a warehouse on Russell Cave Road.

Galls is a national supplier of police and emergency services equipment.

Among the agencies involved in the investigation are the Homeland Security Cabinet and the Department of Defense. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office tells 27 NEWSFIRST, Federal officials are investigating whether the company had a license to send gear to restricted countries. They're also looking into any wrongdoing by company employees.

Employees were told to go home for the day. Federal agents kept supervisors inside.

The search is expected to last for much of the day.

At the Russell Cave location, an employee watched Federal Agents and State Police go in and out of the warehouse. She says she has no idea what was going on and when she went into work, everything seemed normal.
