Westchester, IL -

A man whose Westchester home was targeted by federal authorities July 30 has not been charged with any crime as of Wednesday, Aug. 6.

Agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco and Firearms, the FBI and the IRS executed six federal search warrants on Michael Sarno.

Authorities have searched Sarno’s home in the 3000 block of Kensington Avenue in Westchester. Sarno was convicted in the early 1990s of being part of a crime family and released from federal prison in 1999, according to published reports.

Authorities recovered a large amount of cash from Sarno’s home, according to published reports.

Sarno, 50, has not been charged with any wrongdoing related to the searches, which were part of an investigation of a 2003 pipe bomb incident in Berwyn.

Mark Polchan, 41, of Justice, and Samuel Volpendesto, 84, of Oak Brook, were each charged last week with one count of conspiracy to use an explosive device to damage property, using an explosive device to damage property and using a pipe bomb  to damage a Berwyn business.
