Kutcher joins federal agents on house raids

Ashton Kutcher joined the fight against crime on Thursday (01Mar12) as he shadowed federal agents conducting raids in California.

The actor accompanied investigators swooping in on suspected child pornography offenders as part of his work with his DNA Foundation, which aims to end the sexual exploitation of children.

Kutcher was photographed wearing an official San Jose Police jacket, but a spokesperson for the police department tells TMZ.com the Two and a Half Men star did not directly participate in the searches and was not allowed into the raided homes.

Authorities seized computers and other evidence and reportedly arrested three men during the sweep.
