ST. PETERSBURG --
The FBI raided the downtown St. Petersburg office of Universal Healthcare Thursday.
The raid comes a day after more than 800 employees found out they were losing their jobs.
The company is in receivership and will be liquidated by the Department of Financial Services by the end of the month. Universal leaders have been accused of money mismanagement during a state investigation.
Employees in the office Thursday morning were told by agents to leave their desks and evacuate the building just after 8 a.m. Many of the employees had just clocked in for work.
"I heard a loud male voice saying, 'Back away from your computers, hands off your keyboards,'" employee Jessica Jines said. "Stood up to look over my keyboard, and there were five or six federal agents that were separating, walking in each direction. They called us to one central area and let us know there will be no use of the computers."
Employees snapped photos as FBI agents removed files from storage cabinets. They said agents were looking for computers too.
Officials have not yet said what the agents are specifically searching for in the building.
