28 August 2010, By Russ Newton, Doncaster Star A DONCASTER teenager was handcuffed, fingerprinted, and spent seven hours in a police cell - all because he was wearing the same T-shirt as a beer-bellied shoplifter. In a frightening case of mistaken identity 15-year-old Danny Lawrence was spotted wearing the same top, from High Street chainstore Primark, as a suspected shoplifter. Police arrested Danny and took him to Doncaster police station, where it took several hours for officers to check CCTV pictures of the suspect before they decided they had got the wrong man. Danny was eventually released without charge, but his family is upset his fingerprints and photo were taken before he was allowed home.
