Police were called to a residential address in the Oldfield Road area of Westbury at around 4.30pm this afternoon (Sunday).

A man, believed to be aged in his 50s, was confronted by paedophile hunters – who allege that he has been having sex chats with a 14-year-old online.

Officers attended and arrested the suspect on suspicion of engaging in sexual communication with a child. He has been taken to custody for questioning.
