No one has been arrested in the raids.
BPR issued a statement on its web site saying the company will cooperate fully with the investigation.
In spring 2014, members of the firm testified in the Charbonneau commission about its alleged involvement in a water meter overbilling scheme. Three engineers with the firm pleaded guilty to charges related to their participation in that system.
