A court date is to be set.

The police report that between 11:50 a.m. and 1:55 p.m. a team carried out a search of two premises.

During a search of Colquhoun’s premises numerous Microsoft, PDF and Excel files were seen populated with names, addresses, and telephone numbers of persons living overseas.

During a search of Reynolds' premises, a white I-Phone 6S was found.

It was analysed and found to contain evidence of probative value.  

They were both arrested.
