Federal agents raid Broward wireless business

DANIA BEACH, Fla. – Federal agents swarmed a Dania Beach building Wednesday as part of a multiagency investigation into a telecommunications company.

Agents from the United States Postal Inspection Police, the Department of Justice, the Internal Revenue Service and the Broward Sheriff’s Office have been filtering in and out of the Regions Bank building at 499 Sheridan Street, but authorities say the investigation has nothing to do with the bank, rather a company called Q Link Wireless that operates inside.

Q Link Wireless is a telecommunications company that works with the government and provides free wireless services to eligible Lifeline subscribers throughout the country. Lifeline is the Federal Communications Commission’s program intended to make communication services more accessible to low-income consumers.

Investigators could be seen removing boxes full of evidence and putting them into the back of a U.S. Postal Service truck.
