The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) confiscated a fully constructed LEGO set model of the U.S. Capitol building from an alleged leader of the January 6 riot. 

New York Post reported that the FBI investigators seized the said LEGO set from Robert Morss, 27, of Pennsylvania.

Although the FBI seized the fully constructed LEGO set of the U.S. Capitol building, Insider noted that it was still unclear how Morss utilized it as a teaching tool or to plan the riot.

Other Items Seized by FBI to the Alleged Capitol Riot Leader

Robert Morss was arrested on June 11 and was charged with four separate counts of breaking into the Capitol building, entering the building through a broken window, and organizing a shield wall of rioters against the law enforcement authorities on the day of the riot.

Apart from the LEGO set, authorities also acquired a notebook during his arrest that contained instructions on how to create a "hometown militia," which included preparations such as "ambush" and "battle drills." Firearms were also discovered by authorities, including a shotgun, handgun, and rifle.

The Insider cited a Department of Justice (DOJ) filing, which revealed that officers discovered items in his home that Morss took to the Capitol such as a neck gaiter, military clothing, tourniquet, and a "Don't tread on Me" flag.

When Morss was in the Capitol riot, he was reported wearing a "tactical gear" and a "MAGA" hat while leading the insurrectionists who tried to enter the Capitol's lower west terrace. 

Prosecutors alleged in the court documents that at one point, Robert Morss ripped a shield from a law enforcement officer of the Metropolitan Police Department.
