Police Surprise Child Predator Trying to Meet with Minor

Police bodycam footage captures the shocking moment officers spring a sting operation on a suspected child predator who thought he was meeting up with a minor. Instead, he was met by a team of detectives ready to take him down.

The suspect’s confidence instantly turns to panic as officers reveal who they are and why they’re there. With nowhere to run and the evidence laid out in front of him, he’s quickly placed in handcuffs.

Authorities say the man had been communicating online with someone he believed was underage — but it was actually an undercover officer. The arrest is part of an ongoing effort to protect children from online predators and send a clear message: the internet isn’t as anonymous as they think.
