I assumed the bike had been previously reported stolen.
In this case, you assume correctly. From the very first post:
"The police also confirmed the guy who was accusing me had had a bike stolen five months before."
Given that, I don't understand why it couldn't have been sorted out there and then. Surely the copper could have got on the radio to HQ to ascertain the frame number of the stolen bike. Job done.
