FBI converges on General Linen in Somersworth: Authorities confiscate computers from company facility

SOMERSWORTH, Mar 31, 2012 (Foster's Daily Democrat - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Members of the FBI were working for several hours on an unknown investigation at the General Linen Service Co. on Friday afternoon.

Foster's received an anonymous phone call early Friday morning indicating the FBI was at the linen company and was confiscating computers.

The presence of the FBI was confirmed by a member of the Investigations unit with the Somersworth Police Department.

However, questions on the extent and reason for their presence was directed to the Boston Field Office of the FBI.

The Somersworth police office said his department was not actively involved in the investigation, but was at General Linen to assist the FBI where needed.

The parking lot and property of General Linen was quiet Friday afternoon, with no unmarked vehicles visible in the parking lot from the front of the building.

Inside the lobby of the company, several men were standing near the glass doors in jackets. One of those men was clearly from the Somersworth Police Department, while the origin of the other individuals is not known.

Earlier this week, it was announced General Linen Service, Inc of Newburyport, Mass. was suing General Linen Service Co., of Somersworth.

The Newburyport location alleged in the suit that the Somersworth company illegally stole information from its web portal to pilfer from its rival customer base.

Both companies provide similar products, such as napkins and uniforms, to restaurants and other businesses in the Seacoast.

A media spokeswoman from the FBI said the agency had "no further comment at this time." ___ (c)2012 the Foster's Daily Democrat (Dover, N.H.) Visit the Foster's Daily Democrat (Dover, N.H.) at www.fosters.com Distributed by MCT Information Services
