In what way is he a vulnerable adult?
If it is just because he has pain management problems then I don't see how that can have an effect on arrests.
You can be stopped for looking suspisious. The police, seeing two (male) adults wondering around the streets at 3am is suspisious especialy depending on what clothes they had on, so I am not surprised they were stopped.
The difficulty in the story now is why were they kept in the cells all night? What did they say/do when questioned that made the police decide a night in the cells was in order?

Update...
OK, it appears to be a rather farcical turn out.
Very briefly, someone in his block reported 'suspicious behaviour' because said son couldn't sleep, and was out in his little shed cleaning up some old, but good quality tools he picked up at a car boot sale.
Monkey wrench, Yankee screwdriver, that sort of thing.
Well, off they went to Asda, and were picked up less than a hundred yards up the road.
Where are you going at 3am?
Asda
What for?
Cat litter.
Why didn't you go during the day?
I prefer shopping at night when it's quiet.
Then they searched him.
Why are you carrying a torch?
Because it's 3am and dark.
and so on, and so on.
All perfectly true answers, I guess they thought he was trying to pull a fast one. Part 2 in a moment.

So at the brand new 'holding suite' they were booked in and the desk person was very nice with them.
Pal was strip searched because he kept setting of a metal detector thingy, it was his.....errrrrr.... manly piercings that were setting off the alarms.
Anyway, they were fed and watered, treated very well by all, and told mid morning, that's it, you can go, no charges.
Hells bells, the more I re-read this, it looks like a desky post.
Every word is true.

I'm glad it's all sorted ferlew, though I think the police were a bit extreme.

Ok thanks.
What I mean by justified and reasonable is a police patrol respond to a call from the public and find 2 persons at 3am, who are searched in accordance with the law and find one carrying a torch and a tool. This in my opinion warrants further investigation including questioning the pair separately and the law states one or more questions regarding a persons suspected involvement in an offence constitutes an interview The interview has to be done at a police station and recorded on audio-tape unless certain conditions apply which also has a safe guard for the suspect.
The police need to check for any reported of crime or further reports coming in and conduct inquiries with the person who reported it etc, the list is endless. After 2 people have been separately detained they then have to be interviewed to see what they have to say and whether it matches up.
