HALIFAX -- The RCMP in Nova Scotia say an investigation into child luring and extortion in the province has led to the arrest of a 17-year-old boy in England.

The Mounties say the suspect from Dover was arrested Oct. 27 by police in Kent, England.

He is accused of luring and extorting a girl from northeastern Nova Scotia and is under investigation for blackmail, possession of indecent photographs of children and inciting child pornography.

A court appearance has been scheduled for April in Kent.
