Bounty-hunting. Hmm, very progressive.

The police have never had so many resources – cameras, surveillance and the like – all paid for from the public purse. They ask the public on a regular basis to help therefore the money seized should be put back into the local community as a way of reducing the burden of council tax.

I think that young people shouldn't get in gangs because it's stupidity and it teaches you nothing but violence and how to kill and hurt people.

Police attended my home looking for my son who does not live with me, when he did come to see me later that day I informed him of the police attending earlier that day, he promptly went to the police station. Once there they arrested him for burglary and searched his home. They took personal items and money, the money was mine as I am registered disabled and have several siezures, I had been paid back pay for my condition and as I do not have a debit or credit card drew the money from my back to pay off debts and rent and buy my younger sons birthday present. I was unable to go and do any of these things when I drew out the money as I had a siezure and was poorly for some days later. Because I was burgled a few weeks earlier I gave the money to my son for safe keeping untill I felt well enough to do this. But then the previuos happened, I called the appropriate departments in a bid to try and recover my money as I was in need of it. I supplied them with all the relevant documentation to prove that the money was mine, ie, my award notice. And bank statements highlighting the relevant withdrawals. After weeks of waiting and fibbed off telephone calls this is still not rectified it seems I haven't a leg to stand on. My sons birthday came and went I couldn't even afford to get him

a birthday card I am threatened with eviction from my property as the police have hold of the arrears that I was scheduled to pay this. I had written in a statement to no avail. This has had a detrimental affect on my health I even tried to commit suicide because of all stress. I understand they are doing their jobs but it shouldn't take this long to read the documents provide and prove their authenticity. Very annoyed.
