R-C-M-P in New Brunswick say they played a major role in rescuing two young children in the United States.
In November, the police force’s internet child exploitation unit discovered media involving allegedly exploiting children.
That discovery led to U-S authorities executing a search warrant at a home, where they found two kids under the age of eight.
A woman has been arrested, but authorities didn’t release more details.
