“This information was immediately forwarded to the United States Department of Homeland Security Investigations and further sent to a local police department. A search warrant was executed by U.S. authorities shortly thereafter,” said Cpl. Hans Ouellette in a news release from the RCMP.

The release says local authorities rescued two children under the age of eight during the search and arrested a woman.

The investigation in the U.S. is still ongoing.
