Police on Tuesday said they arrested a 46-year-old man on suspicion of child porn possession and distribution.

The arrest was made after local police received information from Europol regarding an account user on a social media platform who uploaded and sent child pornography material to another user.

Police proceeded to an investigation and found that the user of the specific account was the 46-year-old who was arrested on Monday.

Officers found in his possession a mobile phone which they confiscated as evidence.
