The live stream on Facebook was watched by thousands of people nationwide and concluded when two police officers arrived and took the man into custody.

A Cambridgeshire police spokesperson said today: “An investigation into the matter is ongoing.

“The man has been released on bail until 22 April.”

Coincidentally a second online enforcement team from a different group arrived just before the police turned up to detain the suspect.
