Authorities are looking into evidence collected Thursday in a possible child-pornography case.

Officials with the Beaver Township Police Department, Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s Crimes Against Children Unit, Mahoning County Sheriff and the Mahoning Valley Law Enforcement Task Force all participated in the 7 a.m. Thursday search at 9250 Woodworth Road.

Jill Del Greco, public information officer with the state attorney general, said computer equipment was seized and authorities will go through the evidence taken. No charges were filed Thursday.

There was a man in the home at the time of the search warrant. That person was questioned, but not charged.

Del Greco would not say how long authorities had been investigating the case.

“Once the investigation is complete, we would turn that information over to the county prosecutor,” she said of charges in the case.
