A man quizzed by police over misplaced fears he had taken pictures of young girls, had merely captured innocent snapshots of Newcastle, Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP) has learned.<\/p>\n

Keith Henderson, 62, was approached by officers on 3 April following a complaint from a member of the public on Northumberland Street, Newcastle.<\/p>\n

But a review of the digital images on his digital SLR revealed nothing more than harmless shots of Newcastle which Henderson had planned to take back to his home in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Police have confirmed to AP that there was nothing on Henderson’s camera, other than innocent photographs of the city.<\/p>\n

After approaching Henderson police claim that he swore and shouted at the officers, prompting them to arrest him for disorderly conduct and take him down to the station in a police van.<\/p>\n

The keen photographer claims police were heavy-handed and made him feel like a criminal, telling the Evening Chronicle<\/a> that he did not recognise the police uniform of black T-shirt and combat trousers.<\/p>\n

He was later given a caution for a ‘public order offence’ before being released without charge.<\/p>\n

Northumbria Police this morning confirmed that Henderson had been stopped following ‘concerns’ over his photographs but declined to comment further.<\/p>\n

Police say that the officers would have been negligent in their duty had they not spoken to Henderson following the complaint from a member of the public.<\/p>\n

Henderson, who is originally from the UK, had been in Newcastle to attend his brother’s funeral.<\/p>\n
