Police seized electronic devices following that search, and other related searches.

A male suspect was arrested and taken into custody in the early morning hours of Wednesday, May 31.

• Possession of Child Pornography
• Accessing Child Pornography

He appeared in bail court in Thunder Bay on Wednesday, May 31 and was remanded into custody with a future appearance date.
