Anybody can steal.
They got him arrested for "casing" the joint due to the grab-n smash robbery that happened on Oxford street some few days ago.
It coulda been a Caucasian or an Asian.

Afterall, Kalilou Fadiga(Senegalese player) stole a piece of bracelet during a world cup competition.

Thats effective policing.
If they didn't act fast, we would be complaining.
I don't think there's any racial profiling involved. . . . . .
Re: Police Arrest Black Footballer Victor Anichebe For "window Shopping Jewellery" by bawomolo(m): 1:37am On Mar 13, 2009
this is a case of profiling whether racial or not.

Those White boys were doing it for the 2nd time in 3 weeks, wearing balacclavas and the whole disguise clothing, armed with dangerous weapons and didn't care less about spectators taking their videos/pictures. Up to 2day, not a single person has been arrested, let alone detained for questioning.

Where were CCTV operators and armed emergency response? nxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxim
Re: Police Arrest Black Footballer Victor Anichebe For "window Shopping Jewellery" by debosky(m): 1:45am On Mar 13, 2009
It's racial. How can a guy in a cast be trying to case a shop?  

Why should they handcuff someone during questioning? Bullshit if you ask me - it was definitely racial.

Let them handcuff Gerrard and Carragher that way first.  angry

I do man, but that thing in me just feel they over reacted based on what the fellas looked like

Spate of robberies in Chesire my ass!

If i was some white middle aged looking aristocrat with a classy lady by my side, looking in the mirror of a jeweller at Knutsford, will i nicked?

NAH!

If they knew it was Anichebe, they prolly wont jump on them straightaway, but the sensors in them triggered bleeping NIGGAS, GET EM

They do a smash n grab. . . . .No time for emergency services to respond.
Bike boys arrive wearing helmets so no one sees the balaclavas and as soon as they get down, they smash the windows, grab the ice and hop on the bike and ship out?? What can any emergency service do to that?? Gloves, helmets etc means no DNA, no Fingerprints and no face.

Victor was hanging around like a Arrow and he gets caught.

In the UK, YES!!!!
I have watched episodes of crimestoppers where middle-aged white have been wrestled to the floor.
UK cops don't give a damn. If u show any traces of violence, you are going down!!!!
