On Friday the Peterborough Police Service said that as part of a two-month investigation by its internet child exploitation (ICE) unit, investigators on Thursday executed a search warrant at a residence in Peterborough.

A 32-year-old man from Peterborough was arrested and charged with four counts of luring a person under 16 years of age by means of telecommunication and two counts of failure to comply with a prohibition order regarding children.

No other details were provided on the investigation, including the name of the accused.
