INSANE: Scots couple hiding in safe house after 300 paedophile hunters attacked wrong home | Vintage Vibes

A couple left fearing for their lives when 300 vigilantes attacked their home are hiding in a safe house after false information from paedophile hunters circulated online.

David McLean, 37, was wrongfully outed as a sex offender by hunt group Exposed Britain in a Facebook post in 2018, but things took an ugly turn in February this year when the post resurfaced - sparking a mob of angry locals to target his Dumbarton home.

The incident was then live streamed on TikTok, causing hundreds more to join the crowd before a vicious riot broke out.
