OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Officers from the Nebraska State Patrol, FBI and other agencies have raided an Omaha foster care agency as part of a financial probe.

A warrant was served Friday on Sigma Treatment Foster Care, and investigators poured into the office to check documents and computers.

Investigators say there were no signs that any child was in jeopardy.

A phone call to company officers by The Associated Press was not returned.

A news release from the Nebraska State Patrol says Sigma is being investigated for possible fraud involving its work for the state of Nebraska.

The patrol says no arrests have been made.

The company provides family support and visitation services for foster children and families.
