State authorities joined those with Cobb County Wednesday in searching the offices of Cobb Electrical Membership Corporation. As part of an ongoing investigation, the homes of the CEO and board members were also searched. In all, Cobb County’s district attorney say warrants were issued for five locations. The DA declined to give details, but the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports agents were looking for evidence connected to theft and racketeering at the electric cooperative. Customer-owned Cobb EMC has about 190,000 customers in four northeast suburban counties in metro Atlanta.
