News Release

Police have arrested 6 people in New Brunswick and one in Montreal, Quebec following the execution of search warrants at five residences in five New Brunswick communities as part of an investigation into Internet child pornography.
On Wednesday, October 3, 2007 the RCMP New Brunswick Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Section along with members from the RCMP ICE Section in Nova Scotia, J Division RCMP Major Crime Units, and the RCMP Atlantic Regional Tech Crime Unit, the Grand Falls Police Force, and members from other RCMP detachments carried out searches at homes in Grand Falls, New Maryland, Dieppe, Haut-Paquetville and Caraquet. The investigation led the Child Exploitation Unit of the Montreal Police Service to a residence in Montreal where a man was arrested.
Although charges have not yet been laid, three of the people arrested in New Brunswick have been released on conditions with promises to appear in court at a later date. The other three were released but the investigation continues.
The operation was part of an international investigation into Internet child pornography which originated in Germany. There is no evidence at this time to indicate that any of the children in the images seized are from New Brunswick.
This is the largest ever operation in relation to Internet child pornography made by the RCMP in New Brunswick.
Anyone with information regarding the production or distribution of child pornography is asked to contact their local police department or NB Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
