Britain's youngest known crime suspect – aged three

 

A three-year-old boy has become the youngest known suspect in a British criminal inquiry after he was investigated by police over alleged disorder and vandalism.

 

Officers from Strathclyde police visited the toddler’s home this summer after receiving a complaint of damage to household property.

 

The youngster is one of 10 children aged five and under who have been investigated since May for a variety of alleged crimes, including sexual offences.

 

The youngest offender in England and Wales was a six-year-old arrested in Bedfordshire on suspicion of robbery in June.

 

Details of the suspects’ cases were disclosed in documents obtained under freedom of information laws, and have caused concern among crime campaigners, who believe they demonstrate further evidence of Britain’s deepening social problems.

 

Chris Grayling, the shadow home secretary, said: “This is a clear manifestation of the first signs of offending.

 

“These instances underline the very deep social problems we have in some parts of the country. It is part of the very complex picture we call broken Britain.â€
