to get calls about kids shop lifting. Inveribly the shops would want to press charges, if they were a certain age we used convince them not to but we did 'arrest' them, take them down to the station, lock them up in a cell and wait for the parents to come down to collect them.

Never had a parent complain about that. Infact, they were always greatful saying that they hope it scared the kids enough not to do it again.

most of the time, it was peer pressure - a friend daring another one to steal something.
