No pointing, no pixillated face, no reenactment - I intend to lodge a formal complaint.

Careful. There’ll be a front page picture of them pointing at you pointing at your complaint letter.

No, it isn't.

Good job Kieran is alert and constantly checking that we do not descend to colonialist, racist stereotyping and disinformation.

 

Well done Kieran!!

 He gets arrested does he get put in goal like the chap who found a phone in the gutter or street.

He seems to me to be more of a holding midfielder, possibly having been a striker earlier in his career.

Algerian and and marrocan are 2 well known countries where pickpocketing is infamous

Why is his clothes and shoes (even the flip flops) on display on the table?

Not too many tourists found in Algeria.

The age and the number of policemen employed to catch the suspect is irrelevant, except to those that would find fault in the victim and perpetrator receiving justice.

Your idea of justice is right at home in many of the bars in this town. May your juvenile comments revisit you when least convenient.

Must be a pretty good ick pocket to nick the shoes & flip flops off someone..........

He doesn’t looks like pickpocket, he is more like the boss of department in the photograph.

I reckon one officer arrested him, as is the normal procedure, a couple more may have apprehended him.  The others were probably hanging around the station, they sure as eggs didn't all arrest him.
