GREENLAND, Ark. (KFSM) -- Authorities are investigating three suspected child predator cases in Northwest Arkansas after a sting operation was conducted by a group named Truckers Against Predators.
The founder of Truckers Against Predators made a fake social media profile to lure potential child sexual predators. He travels to different states and sets up sting-type operations for those thinking they are meeting underage children. He then contacts local authorities and films those who may be breaking the law. He contacted Greenland Police during a recent sting in Washington County.
Investigators say Siobar Serrano planned to meet up with a minor in Greenland after reportedly sharing naked photos of himself online with who he thought was a 12-year-old girl. Serrano was arrested this week for Sexual Indecency with a Child.
On Aug. 22, Elmer Figueroa was arrested by Greenland Police in another sting operation set up by Truckers Against Predators.
On Aug. 24, Doyle Hoyt of Fort Smith was arrested by West Fork Police in a sting operation set up by Truckers Against Predators.
