Chatham-Kent police made an arrest recently in connection with a late-November raid of a residence in Blenheim.

On Nov. 27, members of the Internet Child Exploitation Unit seized electronic devices from the Blenheim home.

The raid was a follow up from a tip from the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children that indicated a Chatham-Kent resident was sharing child sexual abuse material on the social media platform Snapchat.

Through analysis of devices seized from the residence, police believe that the man was communicating with several child victims via social media applications, including Snapchat, Facebook Messenger and Discord.

On Dec. 3, police arrested their suspect.

A 28-year-old Chatham-Kent man faces charges of possession of child pornography, accessing child pornography, making child pornography available and luring a person under the age of 18.
