A live stream video, which has since been removed from social media, was shared by the group STOP Stings from the Leavesden area that night.
A further post was then made congratulating a team from the group after they experienced a “tough sting” following which a Watford man was arrested.
Herts Police have confirmed he has been released on bail with conditions while enquiries continue.
