FOUR men from the south Devon area – including Teignbridge and the South Hams – were detained by police as part of a crackdown on paedophiles who access indecent images of children online.

During this operation officers executed 32 warrants across Devon and Cornwall which resulted in 22 men being arrested.

All were detained on suspicion of possessing indecent images of children and are currently on police bail.

A spokesman said the south Devon arrests, excluding Torbay, involved men aged 41, 53, 50 and 57.
