Man bailed after Dark Justice sting
A MAN arrested on suspicion of attempted sexual grooming, after cycling from Prudhoe to Newcastle to meet who he thought was a 13-year-old girl, has been released on bail.
The 41-year-old was met by members of Dark Justice, a group set up to identify online predators, when he arrived in Newcastle City Centre at just after 12.30pm on Sunday.
He spent time in custody after police were called.
Northumbria Police confirmed that he had been released until March while inquiries continue.
