Police have arrested a 20-year-old man
Police have arrested a 20-year-old man on suspicion of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
A group who say they aim to “protect children from online sexual predators” posted video footage online of the man being confronted during a ‘sting’ operation on November 28.
The same day, the man was arrested in Southminster at around 2.20pm after police received information from a third party.
He has been released on bail until Thursday, December 19.
