A 63-year-old man is facing multiple charges in connection with a child luring investigation in the Niagara region.
Investigators discovered that Dale J. Cull allegedly used the internet over several months to connect with people who he believed to be under the age of 16.
Niagara police carried out a search warrant Tuesday at a home in St. Catharines, where they seized “devices capable of storing electronic data.”

Investigators found Cull at the home and arrested him.
He has been charged with two offences, including luring a child via telecommunication to facilitate sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching.
Police say Cull was using online aliases “Niagarafun” and “DaleMe.”
He was held in custody pending a bail hearing scheduled for Wednesday at a St. Catherines courthouse.
