An individual from Fort Resolution, N.W.T., has been arrested in connection with an RCMP child pornography investigation called Operation Snapshot.

The investigation was a four-month multi-agency operation to catch online child predators and it involved police services from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

"As a result of this investigation a search warrant was obtained and executed on a residence," said Cpl. Barry Ledoux at the Yellowknife detachment.

"Computer-related equipment was seized at the residence. This matter is still under investigation."

The search and the arrest happened on Oct. 9. No charges have been laid yet.

The equipment seized from the Fort Resolution residence was among more than 100 computers and hard drives seized by RCMP in the investigation.

A wellness worker in Fort Resolution said people in the community are hushed and in disbelief because of the nature of the arrest. But Wilfred Simon said he wasn't overly shocked.

"I wasn't really surprised because of what's on the internet and how people are," he said. "A lot of them are addicted to the internet and they're on it all the time. You have to get back your morals and start understanding what's right and wrong."
