NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif.- Federal agents, postal inspectors and three Los Angeles police officers descended upon the offices of Extreme Associates at 9AM today, seizing records, videocassettes, model releases and identification concerning four titles from the Extreme Associates catalog and one from the Armageddon line that was recently sold to New Jersey-based Diversity Media.

Approximately 25 FBI agents and postal inspectors from Pittsburgh, PA arrived with a 10-page warrant, according to sources familiar with the situation.

"United States Postal Inspectors, in conjunction with the Los Angeles Police Department, received a federal search warrent, sealed, which was served on these premises today," United States Postal Inspector Mike Walters told AVN.com.

Since the warrent was sealed, Walters was not able to provide AVN.com with any further information.

The agents were still searching the North Hollywood office of Extreme Associates at 5:30PM, and were restricing access to the building.

No arrests have been made, though the law enforcement officials seized three copies each of Extreme Teen 24, Cocktails 2, Ass Clowns 3 and Forced Entry. It is not known whether they seized the fifth title named in the warrant, 1001 Ways to Eat My Jizz, part of the Armageddon line.

The warrant stated that the bust was due to a complaint in Pittsburgh, though it is not known whether the material was shipped over state lines. Of particular note is the title, Forced Entry, which reached notoriety in recent years due to media coverage of its rape theme.

Extreme Associates is represented by Beverly Hills attorney Alan Isaacman, who could not be reached at press time.

-The offices of Extreme Associates, which is the parent company of Xtreme Pro Wrestling, was raided by federal agents, postal inspectors, and three Los Angeles policemen, according to a story published on the AVN website. The story notes that approximately 25 agents and inspectors entered the office with a ten-page warrant. "United States Postal Inspectors, in conjunction with the Los Angeles Police Department, received a federal search warrant, sealed, which was served on the premises today," U.S. Postal Inspector Mike Walters told AVN.com. The investigators seized three copies of of three different movies named in the warrant, which was issued in response to a complaint made in Pittsburgh, Pa. Oddly enough, the promotion's next show is scheduled for Apr. 19 in Pittsburgh. In related news, despite making bold claims regarding a pay-per-view deal with DirecTV, the promotion has bounced several checks to its wrestlers in recent weeks, which was first covered in the Torch Newsletter. Justin Credible, who at first denied receiving a bad check from the promotion, has since said in an interview that the promotion owes him money. Credible is scheduled to wrestle Shane Douglas at the show in Pittsburgh, which at least for the time being, is still being advertised on the XPW website.
