Child Porn

A man faces a child pornography charge after a search of a Halifax residence last month.

On April 24, police began an investigation after receiving information regarding online child pornography. The pornography involved text message conversations and private message conversations on a social media site about sexual activity involving children. The conversations were between a 45-year-old Halifax man and other adults who notified authorities.
Just after 9 a.m. on May 17 Police conducted a search of a residence in the 5600 block of Atlantic Street and seized a number of electronic devices for forensic analysis. A man inside the residence was arrested without incident.

Forty-five-year-old Robyn Trent Boswick of Halifax appeared in Halifax Provincial Court on May 17 to face one count of making child pornography.

Police Chase

A male youth is facing multiple charges after fleeing from police and colliding with two police vehicles in Halifax early yesterday.

Police stopped a vehicle at the intersection of Titus Street and Dutch Village Road in Halifax just before 1 a.m.

Officers approached the vehicle in an attempt to arrest the driver and then he backed up, hitting the police vehicle behind him and then driving forward, hitting the police vehicle in front of him.

Two of the officers had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit, and this was followed by a police pursuit and the issuing of an arrest warrant for the 16-year-old. He was arrested in the 100 Block of Moirs Mills Road last night just after 6:00pm without incident.
