My factory was raided by police in October 2019 for apparently “falsifying a document”. During the said they seized 7 computers, 3 iPads (knowing they were my 3 kids), 2 mobile phones etc. I was released after making a no comment interview without charge. Since the raid I’ve heard nothing besides a letter in April stating that they had destroyed my fingerprints. I’ve called numerous times over the last few months and spoken to uniform members, property officer and on a number of occasions left a message on the answering machine of the police officer in charge. I’ve never had my messages answered or phone calls returned.

How do I go about getting my things returned or finding out what’s going on. I’ve obviously replaced everything they took (except the data...) since they were required to run my business and COVID-19 and having to home school on iPads.

make the request in writing. Any phone call or visit will be palmed off.
