Federal Agents and Nitrous Oxide Raid in Los Angeles

Via NBC in Los Angles:


Last week a federal sting in Los Angeles netted 400 tanks of nitrous oxide with an estimated street value of $20 million. The effort entitled “Operation No Laughing Matter” resulted in serving more than 20 search warrants and the sweep raided 17 businesses and nine delivery trucks. The gas was being sold illegally as an inhalant.

AndrĂ© Birotte Jr., the U.S. Attorney for Southern California, notes “It is no laughing matter at all. Children are being harmed. Lives are being destroyed. And children are being sent to the hospital ... and worse case to the morgue."
