NEW ORLEANS – State agents seized computers and other related equipment from the New Orleans ACORN offices Friday morning, according to Assistant Attorney General David Caldwell.
The seizures occurred starting at 8 a.m. at the offices on Canal Street after reports from ACORN attorneys that some material that might have been important to an investigation had disappeared.
Caldwell said the action occurred as part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of theft and embezzlement.
A woman at the scene, who would only call herself an ACORN attorney, said she had ‘no comment’ as she ordered the gates of the building locked.
