After tracking him for weeks, DeKalb County police arrived before dawn Wednesday to arrest a man accused of exploiting children.

Christopher Terenzi, 47, was arrested at his Boulder Walk Drive home by officers who are part of recently formed Internet crime team, police said.

Officers entered Terenzi's home early Wednesday before taking him into custody and hauling away evidence, according to video footage from Channel 2 Action News. Terenzi refused to look at the camera as he was led to a waiting police car.

Terenzi was charged with felony sexual exploitation of children and booked into the DeKalb County jail, where he was being held Wednesday night without bond, according to jail records.

Officers in the Internet crime unit expect more arrests to follow in coming weeks.
