Warrant

http://articles.latimes.com/2010/oct/19/local/la-me-rod-wright-20101019

"During search warrants executed at the two addresses in 2009, investigators found "absolutely no evidence of Rod Wright living" at the Inglewood place, Roth told grand jurors. At the Baldwin Hills house, however, she said they found guns, clothing, awards, mail and many other personal effects."

Isn't a search warrant a piece of paper? "During search warrants" seems weird.

A search warrant is 'an official authorisation enabling the police or some other body to search premises, vehicles, property etc.' (COED)

The piece of paper is the document confirming the authorisation.

So, "during search warrants" should be interpreted as "during authorization"?

Read the phrase "during search warrants executed" as "during the execution of actions authorized by search warrants".
