The man believed he was meeting a young girl. The police were not involved in setting up the trap. The police chief, Dennis Miller, spoke about the situation. He said the people who set up the trap were not from Secaucus. They just chose Secaucus as the meeting place. The police chief was not happy about the trap. He said it was not a good idea for people to take the law into their own hands. However, the police had enough evidence to make the arrest.
