Japanese police have raided property belonging to Sea Shepherd volunteers.
Police raided the Charmant Hotel where Sea Shepherd's Cove Guardians have been staying near Taiji in Japan.
Armed with a warrant the police seized computers, phones, hard drives, photos, cameras and other items that the police deemed suspicious.
The cell phones and cameras minus their SD cards were later returned.
Sea Shepherd's president Captain Paul Watson says protesters won't be deterred by "bullying tactics''.
