A Redwood City man was arrested at his home Thursday on allegations of possessing child pornography and six high-capacity assault rifle magazines, police said.
James Robie, 57, was taken into custody at his address in the 3200 block of Fair Oaks Avenue at about 5 a.m., Redwood City police Sgt. Joe Cang stated in a report.
His arrest followed a cybertip from the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force about child pornography associated with Robie’s address, Cang said. Following an investigation, a search warrant was served at Robie’s home by the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team and detectives.
Detectives found multiple child pornography images from Robie’s computer as well as the magazines.
Robie was booked at Maguire Correctional Facility. Anyone who has information about the suspect is asked to contact Detective Paterson at 650-363-4881 kpaterson@smcgov.orgor or Detective Currie at 650-363-4051 gcurrie@smcgov.org.
