But that’s exactly what I assumed happened when reading the headline. Almost no native English speaker would assume it meant there was a shootout, or violence, or whatever. What you described is a typical “raid” executed against a company.
“Raided” is one of those bombastic clickbait headline words, like “slammed” or whatever. Unless it was actually a SWAT team busting down the door, what they should be saying is “executed a search warrant.”

I think for a lot of people the word raid has connotation with an armed police raid.

Isn’t this the same as when they raid wall st offices? They don’t take a swat team there afaik
Yes, in the sense that those aren’t deserving of the word “raid” either.
