Two simultaneous raids on jewelry stores on Thursday in Irving and Frisco were the culmination of a year-long investigation by the Collin County Sheriff's Office and federal authorities. 

The jewelry store owners are accused of laundering gold originally purchased by elderly victims of fraud and handed over to couriers who are operating scams in the DFW area and across the country. 

CBS News Texas had exclusive access to Thursday's tactical raids that ended with millions of dollars in cash and gold seized from Tilak Jewelers in Irving and Saima Jewelers in Frisco.   

Dozens of officers from the Collin County Sheriff's Office, along with federal, state and local police, conducted tactical raids on the stores, suspected of taking gold fraudulently obtained from elderly victims of a scam, and melting it down into bracelets and other items which are then sold to unsuspecting customers, or smuggled out of the country.   

"You call Collin County and you go to defraud our citizens, we're going to come get you, that's just the bottom line," said Collin County Sheriff Jim Skinner.
