A group of citizens in Alajuela concerned of the proliferation of transvestites invading their neighbouroods providing sex to customers on the streets, is using Facebook to fight back.

The group, calling themselves, Vigilantes de Costa Rica", says its main mission is to rid their streets of prostitution and using the social media with a record 714.360 registered users in Costa Rica, they are uploading photos and videos of the vehicles, including the plate number, of those stopping to buy street side sex from the "travestis".
