I don’t have live access to the latest feeds right now, but here’s what’s publicly reported recently:
-
In late April 2026, federal agents from the FBI and IRS conducted a multi-agency operation at Paragon Restaurant in Hobart, Indiana, along with a Schererville home tied to the restaurant’s owner. Local outlets described agents in tactical gear and noted boxes and materials were seized. Authorities stressed there was no known threat to the public at the time of the operation. These developments were part of an ongoing investigation, with reports linking Paragon to broader activity tied to illegal online gambling [sources reported on the scene: multiple outlets including CBS Chicago and Hoodline; see cited reports below].[1][2]
-
Other Northwest Indiana locations tied to the same inquiry included Gino’s Steakhouse in Merrillville and a home in Schererville, with indictments against individuals linked to illegal gambling and extortion. The FBI characterized the operation as a “multi-agency” effort and did not provide additional details due to the ongoing nature of the investigation.[3][4]
-
Subsequent local coverage summarized that federal agents executed court-authorized raids at Paragon and related sites, and that the investigation centers on illegal online gambling operations. Public safety concerns were not raised by authorities during these actions, and updates have continued as prosecutors proceed with the case.[5][6]
If you’d like, I can search for the most current reporting from specific outlets (e.g., CBS Chicago, Hoodline, local papers) and summarize any new charges, filings, or court actions as of today. I can also pull key dates, involved parties, and what the indictments allege, with direct citations.
