Man charged in Surrey, B.C., child abduction case now accused of new offence

SURREY — A 22-year-old man who previously was arrested and charged for an attempted child abduction now faces an additional charge.

Surrey Police say Liam Dobbs-Morency has now been charged with one count of possession of child sexual abuse and exploitation material following an ongoing investigation.

Dobbs-Morency was charged in June with abduction of a person under 14 years old and possession of a prohibited weapon and remains in custody.

Police say officers responded on June 13 to an attempted stranger abduction of a child, who was playing outside on their driveway when they were approached and picked up.
