Officers say they arrested a Brampton, Ont., resident on Oct. 2, who has been charged with four counts of luring a child under the age of 16.
Officers say the Internet Child Exploitation Unit began an investigation in April, looking for a suspect who was using social media platforms to lure underage kids.
