A teenage boy was given strong cider by police before being questioned over a series of burglaries, a disciplinary hearing was told.
Sean Wall, 17, was taken to a police station and given alcohol before being quizzed over 11 burglaries - which he admitted while under the influence.
But the plan backfired when it emerged Sean was already behind bars at the time of five of the break-ins.

During the interview Sean managed to make a phone call to his solicitor saying he had been plied with alcohol by police.
His solicitor demanded the custody sergeant breathalyse the youngster and he tested positive for alcohol.
The officers were suspended and the Independent Police Complaints Commission was called in to carry out a full investigation

But the two Cardiff-based detectives have kept their jobs after a gross misconduct hearing held by South Wales Police behind closed doors.
Detective Constable Neville Bradbury, who bought the Strongbow cider, was given a final written warning for gross misconduct.

How the hell could that happen in a Police station let alone have the type of coppers who would do it?
Do they just wander through to the interview room with a handful of cider and no-one thinks it
unusual? Nobody wonder why there were empty cans/bottles in the bin in the custody suite?

Who cares? Sounds like the kid is a piece of shit anyway. Fit the fucker up for all I care. Keep the little shit behind bars. Better for the rest of us.

The IPCC really needs to drop that "Independent" in its name because it is in no way deserving of it.

Other things too need attention. Bad apples of the sort now starring on YouTube are seldom brought to justice: no policeman has ever been convicted of murder or manslaughter for a death following police contact, though there have been more than 400 such deaths in the past ten years alone. The IPCC is at best overworked and at worst does not deserve the “I” in its name.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) faces a crisis of confidence after a network of more than a hundred lawyers who specialise in handling police complaints resigned from its advisory body.

In a letter to Nick Hardwick, the IPCC's chairman, the lawyers' leaders expressed "increasing dismay and disillusionment" at what they described as "the consistently poor quality of decision-making at all levels of the IPCC". They said the IPCC's response to their earlier attempts to deal with problems had been "pitifully poor".
