Picked up by the police. Example

Wee Tam (you will have noticed by now that everyone in Scotland is either Big or Wee - the words 'Average Alice' or 'Middle sized Malky' have never been uttered) was liftit by the police outside eh Woolies'.
Tam the Midget has been arrested by the police for stealing a plastic whistle from Woolworths - but of course by the time the case reaches court the charges will have been inflated to armed robbery.
