LITTLE Kelly Aldridge found herself under arrest and her big brother helped to bring her in, in September 1983.

Mark, 13, held the cuffs as police took the seven-year-old to the cells.

But all was not as it seemed as the sibling duo were there as part of a sightseeing tour as they joined others to visit St Aldate's police station in Oxford as part of its open day.

The event saw hundreds of members of the public tour the police facility and see the police cells up close.

There was also an exhibition of various items and a display of how the police looked in the 1850s.

Organisers said about 1,000 people turned up to see the displays as well as enjoy a driving simulator and watch a motorcycle training film.

The public did not visit any real prisoners, however, as they were all transferred to Cowley for the day.
