The previous four were arrested in November, three in Gauteng, one in KwaZulu-Natal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These arrests formed part of an international operation to trace manufacturers, users and distributors of child pornography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cybercrime unit stationed in Pretoria had received \u201cred alerts\u201d on the three men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kraaifontein man, whose identity cannot be made public due to legislation, was found in possession of more than 149 000 pictures of child pornography and more than 5 000 videos at his 7th Avenue house. Police said under-age girls were lured to a chat group where child pornography was distributed and shared among the three accused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police also found two unlicensed firearms, various calibre of ammunition, nine snakes three of which did not have permits, two dogs and two cats. All the animals were found in a poor condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the dogs was severely injured due to a recent dog fight, according to a spokesperson for the Cape of Good Hope SPCA. The animals are now safely in veterinary care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same source said police sniffer dogs were brought in and found body fluids in the house. The accused are facing charges of possession of illegal firearms and ammunition, possession, distribution and accessing of child pornography and animal cruelty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The source said a woman lived in a structure in the backyard with her two young children. \u201cShe was hysterical when she learned of the arrest and charges. All the neighbours were shocked to learn of what was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kraaifontein police urged parents to monitor the devices and social-media accounts of their children to ensure they don\u2019t fall prey to sexual predators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c?Install parental-control software and apps that identify and block harmful content. Advise children not to respond to messages or emails from strangers. Advise them ?never to upload sexually suggestive images nor reveal personal information,\u201d said Kraaifontein police spokesperson WO Louise Strydom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The case is postponed pending a probe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 40-year-old man from Belmont Park in Kraaifontein, along with two co-accused from Worcester and Mitchell\u2019s Plain, appeared in the
