Waterloo Regional Police and the OPP have arrested an Owen Sound man following a child luring investigation.

Owen Sound Police launched an investigation last month after several residents received unsolicited cellular text message seeking sexual encounters from an individual portraying to be a 15-year-old boy.

Police say some of those who received the messages were under 12 years of age.

Officers arrested a suspect in Waterloo on Wednesday.

29-year-old Corey Brown is charged with luring and breach of probation.
