A man has been arrested following a paedophile hunter sting in Swindon.

The 49-year-old was confronted by a group at his address on Queens Drive at around 10.30pm on Tuesday (10 June).

It’s claimed the man slammed the door in the face of paedophile hunters before police officers were called to the scene.

The group allege that he was having highly sexualised conversations online two children – aged 13 and 14 years old – online.

A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police confirmed that the suspect was arrested on suspicion of distributing an indecent image of a child and engaging in sexual communications with a child.

He has since been released on bail while the investigation continues.
