A 42-YEAR-OLD man was arrested following a sting operation by a gang of vigilante ‘paedophile hunters’.

Police confirmed they were called to an address in Latchford at around 7.25pm yesterday, Monday, where they took a man into custody.

He was arrested on suspicion of inciting a girl under the age of 13 to engage in sexual activity after the police were presented with evidence of his alleged behaviour.

The suspect has since been bailed while police make further enquiries.
