List of 25 accused pedophiles arrested in Sarasota sweep. Video montage shows police taking suspects down as they approach a home to meet a child for sex.

Sarasota County Sheriff's deputies arrested 25 people Tuesday saying the suspects were attempting to meet with someone they believed to be a male or female child for sex. The suspects, ranging in age from 19 to 65, were ensnared in the sting police are calling 'Operation Intercept VI.'

The operation was a "four-day initiative focused on protecting Sarasota County children from online predators and human trafficking," a news release from the sheriff's office states.

The suspects - ranging in age from 19-65 - responded to "internet-based ads, online apps and social media sites to engage in sexually explicit written and verbal conversations," the news release states. "One of the suspects rode a three-wheel bicycle to the home while in possession of cocaine and another brought with him two firearms and several narcotics. One man attempted to lure the child into his vehicle while several sent explicit photos and brought condoms with them," the news release states, adding "Ultimately all 25 arrestees traveled with the intent of having sex with a male or female child."
