VANCOUVER — Mounties are investigating three B.C. teenage boys who posed as underage girls online, lured men to meet them for sex then confronted the accused sexual predators dressed as superheroes.

The shenanigans were videotaped and posted in recent weeks on YouTube, under the title To Troll a Predator.

One video features what the boys describe as a 44-year-old male who was seeking to perform oral sex on a 15-year-old girl. The video shows screen grabs of the online chat, dated Nov. 5, and the agreement to meet at a Tim Hortons.

The video then cuts to footage of a man dressed as Batman, speaking in a Cookie Monster-esque voice, claiming to be with B.C.’s “Chilliwack Police Department.”

“We have caught you talking to a 15-year-old girl online,” the caped crusader says to the nervous-sounding man.

Another video shows a screen grab of a man asking what he believes to be an underage girl (actually the teen boys): “But you’re ‘18’ right?”
