GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Federal agents raided a Grand Rapids technology organization and removed boxes from the Leonard Street NW building Friday, Dec. 21.

A federal search warrant was executed by police with Homeland Security Investigations at The National Science Institute, formerly known as The Geek Group, at Leonard Street NW and Widdicomb Avenue. Internal Revenue Service agents also were at the scene.

Agents were at the building from about 10 a.m to 3 p.m.

They referred questions to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Grand Rapids, although authorities there were working to learn more about the search warrant.

The non-profit organization, on its Facebook page, says it "seeks to provide opportunity for all people through programs designed to foster lifelong education, vocational access, and creativity in technology.

A representative from Warner Norcross & Judd, a well-known Grand Rapids law firm, greeted media after the agents left the scene and said the company had no comment.

The National Science Institute’s Facebook page contained a message Friday afternoon, saying it would be closed the remainder of the day.
