Paedophile hunters carried out a “sting” at Watford Junction leading to the arrest of a man by Hertfordshire Police.

Footage shared online appears to show two members of the Innocent Voices UK group confronting a man who they claimed had come to meet a child.

In the video, he can be heard saying “please, I will not do anything, just give me one chance” and “don’t send me back to Pakistan”, while a photo also shows a police officer at the scene.

The group confirmed the video was taken outside Watford Junction station as part of a “sting” it carried out on June 16.

Police said they arrested a 25-year-old man on suspicion of three counts of sexual grooming.Police said they arrested a 25-year-old man on suspicion of three counts of sexual grooming.
