"We were locked up for doing something good," say Bishop Auckland teenagers
8:00am Saturday 17th December 2011 in Wear Valley
Connor Roderick and Tyler Thompson
TWO teenagers who found a five-year-old girl asleep in the back of a stolen car and kept her safe until police arrived told last night of their horror at being arrested and locked up for four hours.
Officers did not believe Tyler Thompson and Connor Roderick’s version of events, and the pair were taken into custody, and had their DNA and fingerprints taken, which will now be stored on a national database.
Their clothes were also kept by police following the incident in St Helen Auckland, near Bishop Auckland, County Durham, on Friday, December 9, and the teenagers were only due to get them back yesterday.
Durham Police said officers dealt with the situation using the information they had at the time, and were following procedure.
Tyler, 16, was on his way to buy milk for his grandfather with Connor, 18, at about 10.15pm when they found the abandoned red Skoda Fabia still with the engine running.
It had been stolen from outside the Royal Chef Chinese takeaway in nearby Manor Road.
The driver had left his keys in the ignition while he went into the takeaway, and three youths were spotted driving the car away, shortly after 10pm.
Tyler and Connor recognised the car, so Connor ran off to find the owner, while Tyler, who spotted the girl on the back seat, stayed behind to guard the vehicle.
Connor then brought the police and the girl’s father to the car, but officers failed to believe their story and arrested them.
“We couldn’t believe what was happening,” said Tyler. “We hadn’t done anything wrong. We thought we were doing the right thing but the police just didn’t believe us. We were gutted.
“If we had left that car, I never would have been able to forgive myself if something had happened to that girl.”
Tyler and Connor were held until 3am when they were released without charge.
Tyler, who has taken part in police projects as a member of Bishop Auckland Theatre Hooligans drama group, added: “We were kept in a cell for doing something good.
We felt like criminals.”
The best friends, who have never been in trouble with the police, said they would now think twice before doing a good thing for fear of getting into trouble.
“We have had strangers coming up in the street asking us why we did it,” said Connor. “Everyone in the village has been talking about it. It has been horrible.”
With the support of their families, Tyler and Connor plan to submit a complaint to police about the incident.
A Durham Police spokesperson said: “Police arrested a man and a youth at the scene of the incident as they matched a description given to police; they were later released without charge.
“The suspects were dealt with as quickly as procedures allow while ensuring that the matter was thoroughly investigated.
“Two other youths have been arrested in connection with this incident and bailed pending further inquiries.”
Any witnesses are asked to call Durham Police on the new nonemergency number 101.

Two teenagers now joining the many others who were otherwise supportive of the Police, but now will not be.
They should receive a written apology instead of the 'following procedure' rubbish.
More importantly, their fingerprints and DNA profiles should be removed from all Police Databases.
Yes the Police get it very wrong sometimes, how they handle putting things right is how they will be judged.
Makes me think seriously about standing for Crime Commissioner.

the government brought this thing in where, even if innocent, your DNA and tabs would be kept on record.
the police get a bad rap, but who would you call if your car was taken without consent.
plus.....here we go again. which spanner leaves the keys in the car with a kid in anyway ?
grow up and stop pointing the finger. three hours in the cell ? i'd just call it a sleep over !!

I would have listened to their story, taken into account that THEY called the police and the owner of the vehicle, established that they gave their correct names, then let them go home. If they needed to talk further then the police would know where they were and who they were - no need to arrest them.
.
I agree about people who leave their keys in the car (especially with a child in it) are complete muppets.

I can't wait for the Police to turn up and lock him/her up for a few hours, only to be told to treat it as a sleep over.
Very poor supporting argument doesn't quite cover it.
Police are human, they make mistakes, how they put them right is important. If these two lads sue them, and I wouldn't blame them if they did, it is us, the council taxpayer who ends up footing the bill for shoddy Police practice.

Though saying that it's easy to have a go at the Police; there are plenty of toerags floating around especially in St Helens and West ... you know ... under 18, roaming the streets in the dark, probably chavs or pikeys and the ones that tuck their socks over their tracksuit bottoms ... so probably they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Holders of the Office of Constable, regardless of administrative rank, are not above the law despite what you may think. They have resources available to them. They had the opportunity to access the Police National Computer and carry out a person check. This can also be validated against the voter register. They can easily establish a person's identity.
Depriving anyone of their liberty is a serious thing.
Clearly the training of the officers involved is inadequate because they were unable to apply level of common sense here.
The Human Rights Act (1988) exists to protect peoples' liberties. It's not ideal, but the arbitrary denial of freedom and liberty cannot be allowed to happen here in the UK without sanctions against those who seek to do so.

checking the records to see who he is is no addmission of guilt. of course a first time criminal wont have dna or prints on a national database.
DOH !!!
this has to be established at the time, or as soon as.
as to sue the police, i'm not alone on this distant planet.
they may not be above the law, but let them act within the law. a phone call to the custody officer would be enough to confirm if the officer acted within the law or not. not a panel of family members !!
if they were to sue the police, they should indeed be charged with trying to defraud the tax payer, and wasting police time.....

The only trouble is, if they win the money is paid by the taxpayer, and for the police, as usual, the reality is that it will be water off a duck's back.

I wonder if Raoul Moat had not shot PC Rathband but just held him against his will for a few hours, whether the police would have just classed that as a 'sleepover'?

Anyway, the point is that no-one should be held against their will, not by a member of the public or by the state police, unless there is a lawful reason.

I hope these lads take advice and if their arrest was unlawful then they should sue. For all our sakes.
.
And I just hope that other decent people reading about this incident are not put off doing the right thing in similar circumstances.

Why should someone who leaves his own car keys in his own car be locked up? THAT opinion shows how far our society has sunk.

Someone who doesn't kill anyone, but helps someone who does, ends up getting 40 years because a cop is injured. I hear Moaty's mate is going to the European Court of Justice to get justice and the sentence reduced. I hope he succeeds.
.
I believe, initially, the Yorkshire Ripper got 30 years. For murdering 13 women. None of those girls were cops of course.
.
PC Marwood still not charged over the death of Ian Tomlinson I see. Over two and a half years after his death - nothing.

In these days of police scrutiny for complains that are ever increasing an apology is very necessary and very important. Why will the police never learn that is in their interest to keep to public on side NOT ostracise them. To get kids to respect the police is an uphill struggle that this will do nothing to help.
Apologise and admit you got it wrong.

The police did the right thing here. As unfortunate as it is for the two lads who didn't do anything wrong we have to think about what if they had and they were let go. Yes they could be questioned at a later date but only if they agreed to it. Due to the nature of the offence then forensic tests need to be carried out to try and link a suspect to the car. Such as fingerprints are needed to try and prove that they drove it or if the window was broken clothing is needed to check for glass. Now the police do not have a power to take fingerprints or seize clothing unless they are taken into custody so I can see exactly why they had to be taken in. They also matched the initial description that was given. If the police hadn't arrested them then they wouldn't have been doing there job and they would no doubt have been getting criticised for allowing the lads to go.

This is the major problem here. Local Govt cuts that only 'save' money from a budget. But most likely save the country pennies or actually cost more. Those lost jobs will cost more in benefits, free prescription, etc etc it's crazy.
Is there no one out there actually considering this.
The same principles are being practiced in all depts when in fact it'd just one big pot of miss appropriated govt money.
