How long do the police keep fingerprints?

My nephew is worried about a job interview, he was caught for shoplifting an item in 2010 from a supermarket. That was his only offence. His job involves working in schools so requires a DBS/CRB check, would this show up and is he obliged to tell employer. I might add he has greatly turned his life around and I wouldnt want this to damage his chances of getting a job.

Advice appreciated. Thanks.

As he received a fine back in 2010, am I right in thinking this would now be spent and fingerprints & DNA destroyed (im looking at rehabilitation of offenders act right now)
