The U.S. Air Force's Office of Special Investigations raided a central valley gun store Friday afternoon.

Officials would not state the purpose of the raid at the Citadel Gun & Safe, 4305 S. Dean Martin Drive, near Flamingo Road. A Nellis Air Force Base spokesman referred questions to the office's headquarters in Quantico, Va., but said that the raid referred to an "ongoing investigation" on which he could not comment.

The office investigates Air Force and base-related crimes, including property crimes. Las Vegas police and the FBI assisted Friday. Spokesmen for the agencies declined to comment.

Witnesses saw SWAT officers shouting "search warrant" enter the store with guns drawn.

"We saw them break that door down and everything," said Joe Gold, whose Bahama Mamas cigars office sits behind the gun store in the business park off Interstate 15. "They were everywhere here."

Police were seen going in and out of an office behind the gun store that witnesses thought was uninhabited.

A message left with a spokeswoman for the Office of Special Investigations was not returned.
