ALBANY — Witnesses say federal agents are conducting a raid on a warehouse on the Seneca Nation’s Cattaraugus reservation in western New York.
John Kane, a radio broadcaster on the reservation, told The Associated Press that agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are going through Wolf’s Run Trading’s building and taken owner Will Parry into custody. They initially handcuffed but later released several employees.
Kane said that Parry is a tobacco wholesaler and the raid near the center of the reservation that started late Wednesday morning is apparently about cigarettes.
An ATF spokesman had not immediate comment.
The reservation is 50 miles south of Buffalo.
