A possible juvenile was identified in one of the cells alongside adult suspects. He had not seen a probation officer at the time of the Committee's visit. On intervention by a Member, his parents were phoned and his mother came to the police station. While the police were not convinced that he was a juvenile, proper steps should have been taken to ascertain this without question. In addition, some of the suspects in the cells stated that they had not been allowed to make a phone call.
