This is a story about what happens when a person is arrested. Some people call this being 'nicked'. The police arrest people who they think have done a crime.

 

People who are under arrest often feel worried about what will happen. They do not know what to do. What happens to Dave in this story may not be exactly what happens to you, but it will help if you, or someone you know, are under arrest.

 

The 'story' is told in pictures without any words although there is a text at the back of the book which may be useful too. You can make any story you like from the book as it will fit any crime.
