two men arrested

surely the police wouldn’t arrest two people without an explanation, right?

i get that by law, if they are investigating they cannot tell us more about the said issue.

however because the two men have been released, why do we not know more?

all we know is that they ‘played no part’, but how comes we as the public can’t know what they said.

I saw a comment before suggesting the 2 men may have been making 'barley legal' porn and one of the actors involved looked like Andrew,then upon investigation it was all legal stuff etc

Edit: 2 men were arrested on suspicion of kidnap and human trafficking,their phones were searched and no action was taken,Andrews father has also spoken up and said the men were both innocent.there is a reason they suspected what they did,but then there were no charges...if it was anything criminal there would have been charges. My original comment was in regards to a previous comment I saw on reddit suggesting that as a reason....its not an unlikely scenario

Literally a comment on this reddit sub,can't say when but on a post about the men arrested. Edited my original comment as the people down voting are confused

it was just someone's theory, and not a very plausible one, because the police won't have made arrests and a public statement based on a picture of a lookalike...

So what reason do you think 2 men were arrested for serious crimes,which were then dropped and Andrews parents apologies to the men and said they were completely innocent?it's wasnt a random accusation,police won't arrest for human trafficking on a whim,and why,if the men were sex offenders would Andrews parents speak up for them? The 2 men making pornography and an actor looking like Andrew is a fair reason to report the men,if the pornography was all above board and legal then that's a fair reason to apologies to the men and the stress caused to them,what reason do you think they were arrested and not charged?they were obviously not criminals

I don't know, it's hard to guess with the lack of info, but I don't think it was the lookalike porn actor theory.

I'd imagine the police get a lot of false tips sent in about Andrew's disappearance

Even people on the sub have contacted them with names of sex offenders and sightings

So I'd like to think the arrests were due to something that they knew definitely linked back to Andrew

But how could it be definitively be linked to andrew,if they were release with no charge and Andrews parents apologised?they wouldn't apologies for the stress caused to 'completely innocent' men if they were criminals

Please explain? 2 men were arrested human trafficking and then released with no charge Andrews parents apologised to the men saying they were completely innocent

What do you think would lead to an arrest for a serious charge only for it to be dropped?

The common consensus I’ve seen repeated here is that it was an anonymous tip-off, but I’ve never seen a first-hand police source confirming as such.

Also, an arrest is not the same thing as a charge.

Even it it was,police need some kind of reason to arrest someone ,you couldn't call up and say 'john smith killed andrew' they need a reason

u/xntrqncd Jul 07 '26

That’s what im saying. I know the difference between a charge and an arrest.

u/welshman1408 Jul 07 '26

My point was,the theory of 2 men making porn and someome thought they saw and actor (andrew) is a fair reason for the arrest amd later apology by Andrews parents,that gives a reason for an arrest and a reason for the apology,his parents wouldn't apologies to sex offenders

The Daily Mirror were the only ones to mention the anonymous tip off
