BENSENVILLE, Ill. (WLS) -- The Department of Justice descended on a vaping product distribution warehouse Wednesday, seizing thousands of items that the DOJ says are illegal. It's part of a multi-state crackdown.

The investigation began several months ago, and Wednesday morning a multi-agency operation hit the Midwest Goods warehouse in Bensenville, seizing what authorities said amounts to millions of dollars of illicit vaping and e-cigarette products.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited the Chicago area and spoke about the raid at a press conference.
