Theo Poulos (played by Matt Evans) is shocked to find himself under arrest for vehicle theft on Home and Away! (1:15pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

It seems that Theo's joyride prank with the Surf Club's patrol vehicle has come back to haunt him...

Justin Morgan (James Stewart), who has been left in charge of Theo while his aunt, Leah Patterson (Ada Nicodemou) is away in Cyprus, is alarmed to see the lad being taken away in a police patrol car.

It doesn't take Justin and Theo long to guess that Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher) is behind Theo's arrest, as payback for the "buried alive" video prank, which almost killed Alf's grandson, Ryder Jackson (Lukas Radovich).

At the police station, Justin clashes with angry Alf, who is determined to press charges for the theft of the Polaris.

Is Theo about to find himself with a criminal record?
