A man has been arrested after indecent images were requested from a number of teenage schoolgirls in St Albans and Harpenden.

Detectives from Hertfordshire Constabulary said a 26-year-old man from Luton has been arrested on suspicion of meeting with a child following sexual grooming, and inciting a child into sexual exploitation. 

He remains in police custody. 

A warning circulated around schools advised parents to remind their children not to agree to meet up with individuals who have approached them online, after reports were received of a man plying teenage girls with alcohol and cannabis.

If you believe your child has been contacted online in an inappropriate manner, please contact police by calling 101.
