The whole bugalar angle just seems like a way for the media to sensationalize the whole thing.

Maybe he took more but only claimed to take the camera.

Actually, I doubt the police could get a search Warrant for the Child Porn simply based on a tip, they could do a trace and surveilance etc but with a B&E - that gives them the defacto reason to enter the mans property.
