Surrey - search is on after kid seen being 'taken' by a van
Discussion
So... the witness is the one arrested?
The same one of which Det Supt in charge insisted he had 'complete faith' in the account of what they had seen, despite the fact that nobody else has come forward to say they also saw the incident.
He was 'completely satisfied' with the credibility of the witness.
Not any more!
Be interesting to see the background of the witness.

So wait a minute, if you report a crime you suspect of happening you get arrested for PTCoJ now if you are mistaken?
I'm sure there must be more to the story/history of the witness as that seems rather odd.
I'm pretty certain that the police now think he reported something that didn't actually happen at all, from the sound of it - so not that he reported it because he saw a kid being picked up, but he invented the whole thing.

Although PtCoJ is a weird charge for that, it does sound like that's what the fuzz think.

Purely hypothetical
If you want to commit a crime, the best way is to get the police to focus all their attention on something else at the same time. And nothing focuses a Police force mind like a Child abduction.
Oh. Ohhhh. Excellent point, yes. Everyone crapping themselves, helicopter out all desperately searching for a fictional black van would be a very good time to be up to no good in the other end of the borough/county.
