Sorry for the long post but the details are important.
A couple of weeks ago my 70+ year old parents got broken into at their home (bungalow) in Manchester. At 2am my mum wakes to hear noises coming from the kitchen. She assumes it's dad rummaging around for tablets (they sleep separately) and goes to see. She turns the light on to see a young man in the conservatory that backs onto the kitchen. Having already broken into the conservatory he is attempting to break into the kitchen (the old back door). She gives him the verbal (very brave me thinks) and tells him to go away.
Mum said after a few seconds he fled. She phones 999. Within 5 minutes police are there. 10 minutes later more arrive with sniffer dogs. (big field backing onto house) 30 minutes later forensics turn up. Fair amount of blood on the conservatory floor. (Great service from the police so far )
It seems the guy first broke into their car, then the garage. He loaded up the car with dads tools (to the brim) and was breaking into the house for the car keys!
The police then arranged for a company to come out to mum and dad to put a temporary fix on the doors to make the house safe for the night. My parents say the police were amazing. All good up to now.
2 days later they got a visit from two detectives. They managed to trace the guy from the blood and told my parents he lived about 1 mile from their house. They said they was going to drag him out of bed early the next morning. They left and said they'd be in touch.
This is where it goes pear shaped.
I've just spoken to mum.
Today my dad phoned one of the detectives because they have heard nothing. APPARENTLY they did drag him out of bed and took him in (along with the guys mother) his Alibi was:
He was walking home on the said night from a party near parents house and he heard noise from around the back. He went to investigate and caught two lads breaking in. They pushed him and he cut his hand and the two lads ran off. He tried to knock mum and dad up but gave up and went home. The mother backed her sons story up.
Dad asked the detective what happens now. "Nothing Mr B*****," was the reply, "it was a very convincing alibi" case closed.
I'm not sure why the police are protecting this scumbag but there is something amiss.
I'm fuming about it all and want to pursue the matter. My 70+ year old mum & dad are too scared to make a fuss.
Now I'm no hard man, however I know plenty of nutters in the area that could track this guy down for a modest sum.
My heart is torn as dad's begging me to let it go.
Such an injustice.
