Police say the search was the result of a tip they received from the National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre that suspected child pornography had been uploaded from an IP address associated to Halifax.
Electronic devices were seized during the search, according to police, and the two suspects were arrested.
Garnet Ray Thacker has been charged with one count each of possession of child pornography and distribution of child pornography.
