Detective Superintendent Geraint Jones, said:

“Cheshire Police take the issue of indecent images of children extremely seriously, and we will do everything possible to bring offenders to justice. We have a dedicated Paedophile and Cybercrime Investigation Team who are fully committed to tackling this issue, with specialist officers who are trained to adapt to the constantly changing methods of online criminals.

“Behind every indecent image is an abused child and sharing such images online is illegal and results in further abuse. The operation has used the most up-to-date technology and intelligence to identify suspects, and this technology will continue to be used throughout the course of the investigations.”

The suspects are now being questioned by specialist officers from the team.
