Teen arrested by Southport police for handing in phone

His father Vinnie, 37, said: “I’m disgusted and angry. It should never have happened. Paul’s mum and I have brought him up the right way. It’s ridiculous.”

A police spokesman explained the complaint of theft was subsequently withdrawn and Paul was released without charge.

Sefton Area Commander, Chief Superintendent Ian Pilling, added: "Merseyside Police has contacted Mr Leicester in relation to the incident and he does not wish to make a complaint against police.

“As a matter of course we are reviewing the circumstances of the arrest.”
