Child exploitation investigation at Townsville

Police have arrested three people following the closure of Operation Tango Rosetta, an investigation into child exploitation in Townsville.

The child victims range in age from one month to 14-years-old.

A 64-year-old Kelso man, a 41-year-old North Ward woman and a 38-year-old woman from Condon have been arrested and are expected to be charged with multiple offences later today.

They are expected to appear in Townsville Magistrates Court tomorrow.
