A Surrey Police spokesman said a man in his 40s had alerted them to the possible theft of the iPads, prompting a search for the devices.

'A tracking device on the iPads showed that they were at the address and a 50-year-old woman from Cobham was arrested on suspicion of theft,' said the spokesperson. //

1/ I wonder who it was that made the report 

2/ I wonder what that report said that meant such a decision was made.

3/ why after speaking to the lady in question was the matter not looked into without the need for her to attend the station.

//In a separate incident last month, the parents of two young children were locked in a police cell for eleven hours after complaining on WhatsApp about the teacher recruitment process at their daughter's primary school.// - What's happened to plod of late? Do they get out of the station these days?

Unfortunately it is a sign of the times. Inexperienced officers overeacting and not thinking of the consequences of their actions. It was only one possible complaint.

Did the children 'grass her up'?

Snitches get stitches.

Not a lot of info about what actually happened. Reading between the lines I reckon her stranged partner bought them for the kids and when they went back to him without them he reported them stolen.

[sandyRoe]

^. That was supposed to be funny.

On reflection, I see it's not.

The Mail missed this sentence reported on  SurreyLive

"A Surrey Police spokesperson said the potential theft was reported by a man in his 40s. They added that officers attended a property “where the occupant was questioned about the iPads and denied any knowledge of their whereabouts".

[ToraToraTora]

12:44/12:41 a member of the public saw her confiscate them from her kids and called plod.

[DDIL]

@ 1250 Where does it say that ?

[chelle7272]

12.50

That doesn't make sense.

[ToraToraTora]

in the link:

"A Surrey Police spokesman said a man in his 40s had alerted them to the possible theft of the iPads, prompting a search for the devices."

[DDIL]

Yes and I highlighted that - but that is not what you are saying // member of the public saw her confiscate them from her kids and called plod.//

[naomi24]

12.50, there's no mention of a member of the public.

[ToraToraTora]

It's not word for word its' what must have happened. It's called extrapolation of data. If someone reported them stolen the must have seen something that looked like a theft. QED. Stop trolling me old china you aren't smart enough.

[chelle7272]

Yes and as I said reading between the lines that man was her ex. When she had the kids visit she kept the ipads he bought them. So he reported her and tehn she denied she had them. She was found to be lying and arrested.

Why would some random stranger report a person for confiscating their kids ipads?

[naomi24]

No one is trolling you, TTT.  You're making up something that isn't there.

[ToraToraTora]

13:06 They said a man in his 40s informed them, they did not mention a name or relative, thus a member of the public is implied. Are you and DDIL twins?

[naomi24]

//Why would some random stranger report a person for confiscating their kids ipads?//

 

More to the point how would a random stranger know who the mother was?

[naomi24]

TTT, nonsense.  You're making it up.
