FBI working the streets of LAKEWOOD

APP: In New Jersey, corruption tends to connect the most unlikely people. What begins with the simple exchange of bribes between two people can set off an invisible chain of events until, years later, entire networks of politicians find themselves targets of an FBI investigation. Such is the history of Operation Bid Rig, a massive FBI investigation into political corruption in Monmouth County that has led to the arrest of 17 current and former officials. A year ago this Wednesday, Operation Bid Rig exploded onto the public stage when teams of FBI agents slapped handcuffs on 11 elected and appointed county and municipal officials in Monmouth County in an early-morning raid. And the investigation continues....The FBI is known to be working in Howell in Monmouth County and in Brick and Lakewood in Ocean County.
