Detectives from Argos have arrested a 35-year-old man in relation to alleged child sex offences in Browns Plains.
It will be alleged the man used a social media platform in an attempt to procure a child for sexual acts.
The man allegedly made arrangements to meet with the child who was an undercover Argos operative.
On 12 August, officers executed a search warrant at the man's residence where electronic devices were seized as part of the investigation and will be subject to further examination.
The 35-year-old Buccan man has been charged with one count of using internet to procure child under 16.
He was released on strict bail conditions and is due to appear at the Beenleigh Magistrates Court on 10 September.
Detective Acting Inspector Cameron Burke from Argos said these arrests highlight the risk posed to children by online predators.
"It's important that parents and caregivers are aware of what apps, settings and platforms their children are using, and actively supervise their online activity," Detective Acting Inspector Burke said.
"Our number one priority is ensuring the safety of children, if you encounter suspicious or inappropriate behaviour towards a child online, we urge you to report it immediately.
"Argos investigators are committed to targeting those offenders involved in the sexual exploitation of children and the possession or distribution of child exploitation material and will use all available resources to detect and apprehend those who seek to exploit children in our community."
