Two men in Hamilton, Ont. are facing child pornography charges in separate investigations.

The first case began in February 2019, when Hamilton police began investigating a suspect who allegedly possessed child porn and was making it readily available, police said.

Investigators identified a man living in Hamilton and executed a search warrant at his home on Jan. 16 of this year.

When officers arrived, the man was allegedly trying to get rid of evidence by throwing it out the window.
