Boy handcuffed in Superdrug targeted because of his race, mother says

Kirsty Buchanan says her 15-year-old son, who is black, was buying shampoo in Chichester shop and was held by police until 1.15am

The mother of a black 15-year-old boy detained by civilian security staff while shopping for shampoo in Chichester has said he was thrown to the floor and handcuffed after joking about being followed.

Former Downing Street aide Kirsty Buchanan has called for a national review of the use of private security staff, saying her child had been targeted because of his race, and that the behaviour of the security guards was dangerous.
