The Joliet police raided a Hennepin Drive residence Thursday morning and arrested a man on child pornography charges.

Manuel Salazar, 47, of 3595 Hennepin was taken into custody about 5:45 a.m.

In October, the Will County High Tech Crimes Unit developed information that child pornography had been downloaded to and shared from Salazar's home, police said.

Investigators obtained a search warrant and hit the house Thursday.

Salazar was booked into the Will County jail. He was scheduled to appear in bond court Friday.
