Federal officials search three Illinois Caterpillar offices

Federal officials search three Caterpillar facilities in Peoria, East Peoria and Morton, Illinois, a report by Fortune says. Seven agents all wearing dark colored jackets either marked as “IRS special agent” or “police federal agent,” with several pulling large black roller bags as they entered the company’s Peoria headquarters.

There is no determined reason for the searches, according to the report, but Caterpillar spokesperson Corrie Scott told Fortune that the company was cooperating with authorities.

Scott told Fortune law enforcement was present and executing a search warrant. The Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation Division, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security’s Office of Export Enforcement and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.’s Office of Inspector General were involved in the searches, according to the report.

The Morton facility is responsible for receiving replacement parts to facilities and Caterpillar dealers, the report says. The company also recently announced it is moving its headquarters from Peoria to Chicago.
