Police made the arrest in a Welland home

A 39-year old man from Welland is facing child luring charges after an investigation by police.

They tell us back in February they began an undercover investigation into the luring of minors using the internet.

That led them to using a search yesterday at a home in Welland, where they found numerous devices capable of storing electronic data.

David Evan Quirt is charged with:

1 Count of Luring a Child via Telecommunication to facilitate Sexual Interference
1 Count of Luring a Child via Telecommunication to facilitate Invitation to Sexual Touching
2 Counts of Making Sexually Explicit Material Available to a person under 16 years of age

He remains in custody, pending a bail hearing today in St. Catharines.
