PRAGUE — Police in the Czech Republic are investigating groups of mostly young people hunting for pedophiles on the internet to blackmail them or beat them up, a spokesman said on Friday.

Pretending they are children, the self-proclaimed 'pedophile hunters' contact sexual predators online, often exchanging pornographic material with them and asking to meet, police said.
