THORNHILL, Ont. — A Toronto-area man has been arrested after police say he lured children online while posing as a young Broadway performer.

Halton Regional Police say the man was allegedly communicating with children online via the image-based social network Snapchat while using the name myles.erlick.

Myles Erlick is a former Burlington, Ont., resident who is best known for his role as Billy Elliot on Broadway.
