A strange question I know, but does English law allow for someone to be charged with an offence without having been arrested first?

Thanks.

Yes.

For example, most motoring offences don't lead to arrest but that doesn't mean that you can't be charged under the relevant legislation. (The same applies to other many other offences, including littering).
