A major investigation is currently underway after the emergence of several pornographic materials involving locals on the internet.

Police spokesperson, Inspector Atunaisa Sokomuri said they have been alerted to this and the Police Cyber Crime Unit is now conducting investigations.

Some of the materials include locals having sex and these have been published on social media sites like facebook.

Sokomuri said they will also try to establish whether the people in the photos are aware of these photos being published on certain websites. 

He said they are looking at a few pages online.   

More details are expected later this afternoon.
