Ohio BCI raids Niles home to investigate crimes against children


NILES — Agents with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation Crimes Against Children Unit raided a house at 832 Mason St., collecting evidence and interviewing two men connected with the residence.

The unit was able to enter the house today because it had obtained a search warrant.

The Vindicator’s broadcast partner 21 WFMJ-TV said the raid was tied to a child-pornography investigation. No charges had been filed against the men as of late this afternoon.

Eva Hall, senior special agent with the unit, said this is the first time in the unit’s 18-month history it has carried out an investigation in Trumbull County.
