Kirkland and Seattle police seized some electronics from a Kirkland home Tuesday morning that police believe may contain child pornography.

Kirkland police and the Seattle Internet Crime Against Children Task Force served a joint search warrant at the home in the 13000 block of 129th Ave. N.E. in Kirkland’s Evergreen Hill neighborhood.

Kirkland police Sgt. Rob Saloum said he was unsure exactly what devices were seized, but that detectives would “most likely” be looking for “some type of child pornography.”

Seattle police will assist Kirkland police by conducting the digital forensic examination of the electronic devices that were seized, said Seattle police Capt. Tag Gleason, who declined to comment on the case.

A neighbor reported seeing a resident in handcuffs, however Saloum said that police may restrain residents during the search warrant process.

“At this point, no arrests [have been] made until they get a chance to look at some forensic evidence,” said Saloum, adding that this is an active investigation.
