Police were called to Barrington Close at around 9am, following a call from Justice for the Innocent, a group of members of the public who track down suspected paedophiles online.

The father was trapped by the group just meters from Liden Primary School.

A Wiltshire Police spokesperson confirmed the arrest, commenting: “A 39-year-old man from Swindon has been arrested on suspicion of child grooming.

“The man is currently in police custody at Gablecross.”
