Minnesota Department of Commerce agents, with assistance from the Forest Lake Police Department, executed search warrants at the business office of Strand Closing Services and the home of Cindy and Steve Strand in Forest Lake on Wednesday morning.

Some 12-14 agents and police officers were involved in the raids of the office at 840 W. Broadway Ave. and the home at 7447 N. 213th St. The search warrants are believed related to a complaint filed with Forest Lake police in October by The RiverBank in Osceola, WI. that alleges the Forest Lake title company is involved with mortgage fraud. More information will be released as it becomes available.
