Operation Guardian Angel II
- May 6, 2022
An operation coordinated by police in Brazil and utilizing CRC Technology resulted in the arrest of 3 men connected with the sexual exploitation of children younger than 12 years of age.
This was the second phase of an operation code named Guardian Angel. More than 30 officers were deployed to multiple locations to execute 8 search warrants.
Although police could not name the suspects a police officer explained that one of the men arrested had “more than 500 videos of child abuse”.
The officer went on to explain their investigations will continue to establish whether the suspects have also been producing child abuse material. He warned parents to be vigilant and noted that sometimes criminals “take advantage of the parents’ lack of attention.”
Those arrested were charges in connection with storing child sexual abuse material and one was also charged in connection with an illegal firearm.
