In February, the Thunder Bay Police Service's Cyber Crime Unit started an investigation of a local internet user possessing and making child pornography available, police said in a Wednesday news release. 

There were numerous files that officers reviewed that were consistent with pornographic images of children, police said. 

Investigators were led to a home in the area of Edward Street and Churchill Drive, where a search warrant was executed on May 16.
