During riots on Saturday near Capitol Hill in Seattle, rioters directed several explosions towards officers — one leaving a hole in the Seattle Police Department East Precinct. Police observed a van moving with the crowd and obtained a search warrant, later finding loads of weapons and dangerous objects.
According to a report by the Seattle police, a witness said they saw “what appeared to be improvised shields, gas masks, baseball bats and a large assortment of pyrotechnic explosives inside the van.” This call and the explosions led to the search which resulted in the findings.
Due to a strange parking position and the nearby explosions, the bomb squad had to clear the vehicle before it was impounded and searched.
Other items discovered included improvised spike strips, homemade shields, shin guards, helmets and other body armor, and other items.
