(KSDK) - Nearly 30 people are in custody after a crackdown on illegal workers at a caramel apple company. It happened Friday morning at Happy Apples in Franklin County.
Workers were surprised this morning when immigration officials showed up with a search warrant.
"(Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents) came and visited us today and we cooperated fully with what they were looking for," said Happy Apples spokesperson Ed Reidy.
They were looking for illegal workers. They arrested 27 people they believe lacked proper paperwork.
"I think they also probably seized some documents from the business and we were also interested in any drug sales or narcotics that may be involved," said Franklin County Sheriff Gary Toelke.
This was not the first raid here.
