400 officers conduct huge child protection operation
- December 13, 2021
Using CRC Technology officers conducted a series of investigations from which they were able to successfully apply for multiple search warrants. Police then conducted coordinated operations involving more than 400 staff across dozens of locations.
30 suspects were arrested in connection with crimes against children. The material being traded by those in custody included images and videos of young children being sexually abused.
Work will begin immediately to forensically assess the evidence taken from the electronic devices found at the premises and to ascertain whether more children have been assaulted.
COO Glen Pounder “We can’t thank these officers enough for being proactive in investigating people with an illegal sexual interest in children.
Due to the borderless nature of the Internet, and the seemingly insatiable appetite of these criminal pedophiles to perpetuate a market for this horrific material, these arrests help protect children everywhere.
We know these are dangerous cases and we are immensely proud to work alongside law enforcement who put themselves in harms way on a daily basis.”
