Hi there long story am 32 now when I was 15 years old my brother decided to pinch from a shop I wasn't with him when he stole the items I was on a completely different floor anyway he decided he wanted to leave so when I left he pulled all the stolen items out of his pocket anyway we both got took to a police cell where we were remanded in custody for shop lifting I told the truth but my other oldest brother made me lie to the police because we were blaming each other anyway we never went to court I have never stole anything or been arrested since I was 15 years old I am wanting to work for amazon but they are wanting a dbs check done is this gonna show up or do I have to accept my brother mistake has ruined me getting a job like that really worried because I did nothing wrong

I think after ten years it drops off anyway

Remanded in custody normal means you went to prison- do you mean this or did you spend time in a police cell? Did you accept a caution or were all charges dropped?

Is it an enhanced dbs?

If it is a basic one it won't show up anyway.

With an enhanced one as you were under 18, not convicted, and it wasn't a crime against a person/other serious crime it shouldn't show up. In the last few years people have gone to Court so people in your situation don't have the stupid things they did under 18 show up and prevent them getting jobs.

I doubt you were remanded in custody! Please be careful using terms you don't understand, it will make things far worse than they need to be.

Have a read about cautions and see if that rings a bell. Can your brother or parents recall anymore?

I was in a police cell for a few hours then released never went to prison or court

So you weren't remanded in custody. They just detained you while they investigated and released you. A caution might appear but not after ten years.

If you never went to court then you don't have a criminal record, so nothing to worry about.

Thank you everyone

Out of interest does this not show in any DBS search then if you are arrested and let out from the local police station?

Ds joined the army with slight minor discretions from being a frankly bloody awful teenager.. Enhanced DBS came back completely clean. He had been caught with drugs at school and it didn't show up. Despite police involvement..

Depending on the type of check, formal cautions, reprimands or warnings may show up.

Depending on the type of check, formal cautions, reprimands or warnings may show up.

The rules changed last November. Reprimands, final warnings and youth cautions are no longer disclosed regardless of the type of check. Most adult cautions are not disclosed after 6 years.
