WESTMINSTER, California (NV) – King Cargo, which specializes in shipping to Vietnam, was raided by Anaheim police at 11 a.m. Thursday, September 12.
This restaurant is located in the old Pho Nguyen Hue restaurant area, corner of Bolsa and Ward streets, in Westminster city, right in the heart of Little Saigon, home to the largest Vietnamese community overseas.
At the scene, there were about a dozen employees in civilian clothes, including two carrying guns, carrying many goods out to the yard and checking.
Some of the goods were then taken back into the store. Others were loaded onto a truck that was not painted in police colors, but had flashing police lights.
Nearby were a police car and four civilian police vans.
In front of the Bien Coffee shop, a uniformed policeman stood guard over a Vietnamese employee of the shop sitting on the ground.
About 10 meters away, in front of the D&L Cleaners Alteration store, a Vietnamese police officer stood guard over another Vietnamese employee, handcuffed, sitting on the ground.
When asked, police officer J. Hopley said: “We are conducting an investigation. We cannot say anything more.”
After about an hour, the handcuffed officer was put into a police car and driven away. The other officer was released.
The employee, who did not give his name, said: “At that time, I was working in the store when the police suddenly brought a dog in, sniffed the whole store, and forced me to step outside. The other guy stepped outside, called someone on the phone, and was arrested and handcuffed.”
“My phone and laptop are in the store now, I can’t go in and get them, so I’m waiting,” this person said.
When asked where the shop owner was and if he had called, this person said: “There’s no phone, so how would I know?”
This person did not give any further details.
