A large federal law enforcement presence was at Apex Waste Management, at 503 Prosperity Way in North Sioux City, South Dakota, for most of the day Wednesday.
Around 10 a.m. more than a dozen marked and unmarked law enforcement vehicles could be seen outside the building. Agencies responding included the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, which is leading the investigation, along with the FBI, IRS Criminal Investigation, the Union County Sheriff’s Office and North Sioux City Police. Several boxes were visible near the front entrance as agents worked at the property.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service agents on scene were based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the FBI agents were from the Omaha, Nebraska, and Minneapolis offices.
Investigators collect evidence
By 10:30 a.m., investigators began bringing equipment into the building, including an industrial clipper, evidence bags, totes and other materials commonly used to collect and secure evidence. They also brought in a U-Haul trailer to load evidence into.
Around noon, a UPS driver arrived at the business to try to deliver packages. Federal agents met him and told him to pull behind the building, where they unloaded the delivery straight into their U-Haul.
As the operation continued at 1 p.m., investigators from every agency started loading the U-Haul. Authorities have not released details about what was taken. A KTIV crew on scene saw a lot of papers and boxes, and one tote full of small packaged items.
Investigators cleared the scene shortly after 4 p.m.
