Winnipeg man faces child porn charges after disturbing package intercepted at border, police say

Posted on by

Winnipeg police say a 41-year-old Winnipeg man is in custody after the Canada Border Services Agency made a disturbing discovery in a package destined for his address.

The package, police said, contained a sex doll that was anatomically designed to look like a child.

Police said officers from the counter-exploitation unit raided a home in the Silver Heights area Wednesday and seized a number of electronic devices, among other items, which are set to undergo a forensic analysis.
