A 58-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested after a video was shared online of 'paedophile hunters' confronting a man.

A live stream shared by the vigilante group on Facebook showed the group, from Newcastle, speaking to a man in Seascale.

The video has since been shared hundreds of times on the social media platform.

Cumbria Police said officers arrested a 58-year-old man from Seascale on suspicion of engaging in sexual communication with a child.

The arrest was made on April 12.

He was interviewed and subsequently bailed, pending further investigative enquiries.
