Earlier this month, agents of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Office of Criminal Investigations executed search warrants at the homes of two Utah County men and an Orem office building, where they seized pharmaceuticals and numerous computers and information storage devices.

A spokeswoman at the federal prosecutor's office said the investigation is ongoing and no charges have been filed, According to court documents, FDA agents on March 9 searched a home in the 1600 South block of Carterville Road in Orem and found about 360 vials of Botox, 75 boxes of Juvederm and 42 boxes of Sculptra, all prescription injectibles intended to be administered by medical professionals.

Agents also seized drugs used to treat breast, lung, prostate and colon cancer.

All the pharmaceuticals were "foreign-manufactured" and not approved by the FDA for use in the U.S., according to court documents.

The resident of the home claimed he was merely a contract employee whose job was to receive and ship medications for his boss. Information provided by the employee led to subsequent searches of the boss' office at 1308 E. 635 South in Orem and his home, in the 1700 East block of Murdock Drive in Pleasant Grove.

From both those searches, agents seized files linking the boss to entities in Canada and the United Kingdom involved in "the shipment of illegal medications" into the U.S., according to court documents.
