Sainsbury’s Worker Busted in Shocking Pompey Predator Watch Sting

A Southampton supermarket worker was arrested tonight after a shocking sting by Portsmouth’s Pompey Predator Watch uncovered his sick plans to groom underage girls.

Mike Doling Caught Red-Handed

Mike Doling, 47, who works at Sainsbury’s in Bitterne, Southampton, was nabbed by vigilantes after months of grooming underage children online. Previously employed by Tesco, Doling was caught arranging to meet one of the girls during his lunch break.

Using his little red car, Doling showed up at his home in Chisholm Close, Lordshill, completely unaware he was walking straight into a trap set by the group, tipped off by Manchester’s Justice for Kids.

Disturbing Conversations Revealed

  • Doling sent explicit pictures and messages to girls as young as 13 and 14, including a girl named “Amy”.
  • He promised Amy a trip to Spain and offered to buy her sexy underwear.
  • In sick exchanges, he asked to join a 14-year-old in the bath and sent pictures of himself in his boxers.
  • He claimed it was all “just a joke” and “banter” when confronted by the group and police.
  • He admitted chatting with multiple underage girls but denied any real intentions to meet or follow through on his messages.

Family Watch As Sting Unfolds

Doling’s wife and son witnessed the sting outside their home as police arrived to question him at Southampton Central Police Station. Hampshire Police confirmed the investigation is ongoing, with all evidence handed over.

Pompey Predator Watch revealed the sheer volume of sickening messages was so large they ran out of ink printing them.

This grim case shines a light on the lengths predators will go to groom children—and the brave groups who are fighting back.
