Iowa Store Where Clerk Attacked Raided By Police

A western Iowa store where a clerk was attacked with a stun gun in robberies just days apart is now under police scrutiny.

Published reports reveal Exotic Gifts in Council Bluffs and other stores with the same name in the Omaha area were raided Thursday by agents with the federal Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Bureau. The Council Bluff store's clerk was led away in handcuffs during the raids.

Federal authorities would not say what agents were seeking in the raid, but several boxes were removed from the stores.

Only two weeks earlier, the clerk had been repeatedly shocked with a stun gun in back-to-back robberies. Two Omaha men have been arrested on suspicion of burglary in those robberies.
