A CRYSTAL Palace man was arrested last week in a police swoop on child abusers.

The 25-year-old was arrested as part of Operation Magenta, a six-month focus on child pornography on the internet by the Metropolitan police, Hertfordshire Constabulary and Greater Manchester Police.

Six men across London were arrested at their homes under section one of the Protection of Children Act and computer equipment was seized. A further two addresses were searched but no arrests made.
