The Chicago Police Department confirmed with FOX 32 that the Illinois Department of Revenue Criminal Investigation Unit is the lead on the case and that CPD is assisting.
In a statement, the Illinois Department of Revenue said they investigate potential tax violations.

One resident who lives nearby was stunned to learn the locations were shut down and being raided.

The three Parlor Pizza Bars are located in River North, Wicker Park and the West Loop.
