A Bucks County police officer is among the four men charged with attempted child luring in Atlantic City, New Jersey, after concerned citizens posed as underage children online.

Central Bucks Regional Police Cpl. Clifford Horn, 54, of Chalfont, Pennsylvania, Eugene Pulley, 49, of Philadelphia, Sambatrimiaina Raminoson, 26, of Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Jose Machuca, 51, of Hyattsville, Maryland, are all charged with luring and enticing a child by various means.

Atlantic City Police said the arrests began on July 22 with the help of concerned citizens who posed as underage children on various social media websites.
