A man from Camden Town, NW8, has been arrested following an undercover operation by the Child Online Safety Team UK, a paedophile hunter group.David Gowers was detained by officers from the Metropolitan Police on 26 January 2025 after allegedly engaging in sexual conversations online with a person he believed to be a child.
During the exchanges, Gowers reportedly claimed to be an ambulance driver and attempted to arrange contact.
