Guelph police say a 27-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a child luring investigation that involved a victim living in the United States.
Police said an investigation started in December 2020 involving its own internet child exploitation unit and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
That led to a search warrant being carried out on Tuesday morning just outside of Guelph’s downtown core.
