A Norwalk pawn shop alerted police to a suspected case of child pornography and police have arrested a local man in the case.
In February, a manager of the Yankee Peddler and Pawn on Main Street in Norwalk called police after discovering child pornography on some sort of a device they had in possession and provided investigators with information about the person who owned the device, police said.
Robert Mosley, 48, of Norwalk, was identified as a suspect and police seized another of his devices, on which they found several pornographic images of children, according to a news release from police.
On March 12, a manager of Yankee Peddler and Pawn contacted police to tell them Mosley was coming to the store to retrieve items held there, so detectives from the Special Victims Unit, as well as officers from the Patrol Division, responded and waited for Mosley to arrive.
When he showed up, SVU detectives took Moseley into custody and transported him to Norwalk Police Headquarters, where he was questioned and admitted to possessing child pornography, police said.
Mosley was charged with possession of child pornography, promoting a minor in an obscene performance, importing child pornography and obscenity.
He was held on a $50,000 bond and is due in court on March 20.
