Unfortunately DM our police have their hands tied in these situations. Seems the legal system is on the side of the lawbreakers here
Its awful it took the builders to resolve this, that guy put himself at risk, despite being a royal lookylikey he could have been stabbed...

What a pity the police aren't allowed to arrest them for unlawful trespass! It must be really scary for homeowners like Yola to have a bunch of druggies take over the adjoining house......I'd be a nervous wreck, living alone...

Re: Daily Thread / Monday


I was seriously worried. I think only now, after I know they're gone do I realise how stressed out I was. And I'm not someone who is easily fazed.

Yes, they can't be seen to have broken in - i.e., forced entry. They opened a back door through an unsecured cat flap (god knows - the owners never had cats so why there was a flap I'll never know).

The house is now secure, so if they get back in, it can be proved they have broken in and they can be forcibly removed.

It's down to technicalities and the police really can't do much except 'be aware of it' . However - joe public, if brave enough, can take a shovel (or threaten to) to the scum.

I'm off to bed now as I can hardly keep my eyes open

Thanks for explaining that, Yola. Sort of weird logic, but I see the problem the police have.... pity! Sleep well !!
