Whilst I was down in town I saw a security guard for Boots detain someone who was thieving, and he got 'escorted' to a room.
A copper and a shopping centre security guard followed a few minutes later..
But I wondered what the legality of this was..
Can security guards detain people in the store against their will? Is that not false-imprisonment or something?
I actually think they can, they can citizens arrest or something. As long as the police get called. Still, it doesnt seem right to think you can get carted off to some room
