Police were seen back in a road where they arrested a Portsmouth man for allegedly attempting to meet up with a child after sending sexual messages.
Officers were spotted in New Road, Fratton, at around 9pm on Sunday 14 December following reports a man had been “arranging to meet and sending sexually explicit messages to someone he believed to be a child online”, police previously said.
Three police cars attended the scene as a 43-year-old man from Portsmouth was arrested on suspicion of engaging in sexual communication with a child.
