Investigators searched a home in the 600 block of Herring Cove Road and seized a number of electronic devices Wednesday morning.
Two people were arrested at the scene.

A 42-year-old Halifax woman is facing one count of possession of child pornography. She is due to appear in Halifax provincial court at a later date.
