A man in his 30s has been arrested in Saint-Eustache, about 45 minutes away from Montreal, in relation to allegations of child luring.

This comes after an investigation was launched in 2025 in Quebec City.

The file was transferred to Saint-Eustache police (SPVSE) in January 2026.

“As part of this case, a computer search was conducted this morning [Tuesday] at the home of an individual in his 30s,” police said. “This operation was carried out with the assistance of the technological division of the Sûreté du Québec.”

The SPVSE notes that the man is known to police for “similar offences.”

He is expected to appear in court on Tuesday afternoon via videoconference.
