Multiple arrests have been made in Nova Scotia as part of Project Steel, a joint effort by law enforcement agencies to combat online child sexual exploitation. The RCMP's National Child Exploitation Crime Centre, along with police in Ontario and Québec, led the operation. In Nova Scotia, the RCMP's Provincial Internet Child Exploitation Unit worked with the Kentville Police Service to execute search warrants, resulting in arrests and the seizure of child pornography. Ongoing investigations will involve further analysis of seized devices. Collaboration between agencies is crucial in the fight against these crimes.
