The youths made headlines last month with a series of “gotcha” videos posted to their “To Troll A Predator” Facebook page.

The four young men, aged 17 to 30, posed online as underage girls promising sexual encounters and then lured potential predators to public spaces and accosted them dressed as superheroes, such as Batman and The Flash.

They posted at least three videos on YouTube, garnering hundreds of thousands of hits and acclaim.

In mid-November, they were warned by police to cease their activities. But the group appears to have resumed their ad-hoc crime-fighting.

About a week ago, the group posted on their YouTube page, titled, The Justice Trolls: “Sorry we haven’t made a video in a while. We’ve been dealing with the police still — and busy with other things in our lives. We will most likely be making a video tonight.”
