On Wednesday, police arrested a 25-year-old man after a two-month investigation sparked by reports from the U-S based National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about suspected uploads of child sex abuse material. Last month, police executed a search warrant at a Springwater Township home, seizing electronic devices that investigators say contained illegal material.

That same day, police arrested a 53-year-old Barrie man following a separate four-month investigation.
Police say a search warrant was carried out in December at a residence in the city's south end, and several electronic devices were seized. Investigators say a forensic review uncovered more than 100 images of child sexual abuse material.
Both men are charged with possession, accessing, and distribution of child sexual abuse and exploitation material.
