In this case yes when you consider the nature of the allegation.Becasue of the girl's age, once the allegation was made, the state has a duty of care to the girl. The police have to take action.

They all took them there and then and he had no more on him, but he was taken the office where coppers came in and arrested him. 20 minutes after his arrested for supply his door was kicked in and turned upside down.

In the light of the recent Saville scandal, plus the child abuse cases, the magistrates will be dishing warrants out like Kevin Friend does with red cards.
They have the power to arrest him and its necessary to secure or preserve evidence i.e. phones, receipts , any other communications etc which prove or disprove the offence.
