Following my previous thread about the second knock .I'm just wondering how after arrest ,my son appeared in magistrates the next day ,remanded ,and given crown court date roughly a month later .when we got the first knock it took about 10 months to go through devices ,how can they go through 6 phones including broken ones ,5 laptops and hard drives in a month ?

What Daffodil said. My husband was arrested and they did an urgent referral to CPS out of hours to get him charged that night as they had enough evidence and he had admitted it (he stupidly didn't have a solicitor as didn't believe he'd done anything wrong). He was at magistrates the next day.

Hi daffodil

my mistake, I never thought that would be the case that they bail as several friends have had automatic remand (nothing to do with this type of thing) I just assumed it's an automatic remand. Never occurred to me about the dangers to themselves which is probably the reason they were remanded. Thank you for that xx

Prior convictions relevant to the crime and consideration of potential further offending are also taken into account in bail hearings too Dragonmama, there's a lot to it xx

I'm a little confused because the first time he was a minor and given a caution so he didn't go to court. This time he went to magistrates and remanded pleaded quilty to part of it ,when he goes to crown in April ,is that for sentencing ?I'm not sure how it works ,sorry x

My sons case went through the system very quickly. As you say I think that happens when they find enough evidence to make charges. Also he pleaded guilty.
