So they nicked the boat, stripped it, were found in the process of burning the contents of the boat and nobody was arrested? What the fuck is the point of the police?!
If only the culprits had made some insensitive tweet they could have been locked up. Police foiled again by these cunning criminal masterminds. /s
It’s getting to the point that some sort of legal action should be taken against police for failure to do their jobs and aiding criminal activity…This particular situation is f*%king ridiculous.
Just how useless are British cops? Can’t track down something that is unique in appearance, is limited to where it can go, travels at 6 mph and weighs several tons. And when someone else tracks it down for them and lead them to thieves being caught in the act, they let the perps go.
But when it comes to wailing on women holding a vigil for someone raped and murdered by a cop, everyone in blue is suddenly all action.
I don’t get this at all. Police spoke to the men who were in the process of burning some of her gear and removing more from the boat but no arrests made? Then in the article it says Derbyshire Police are asking the public for any information???? Huh? They had the blokes there banged to rights but let them go…..guess there’s something missing in this tale somewhere along the way
That Derbyshire Police line will never hold. Surely – surely – there will be an abject apology coming soon, right? God what a useless bunch of numpties.
Edit: I’m trying to figure out what’s gone on here. It’s the weekend, so maybe the on-call press officer somehow couldn’t get hold of anyone senior enough to make a proper statement, and therefore couldn’t cast any light on the events in the story.
But that seems insane. The story was published eight hours ago. Some top bod must’ve seen it by now and thought, “Fuck, we need to fix this”.
Maybe that top bod doesn’t know which officers were involved and so can’t get the details either.
Anyway, if the victim’s account is true, I really hope there are misconduct hearings for those officers.

Police complain about pay and don’t even do basic policing for a major crime.
Can’t imagine being proud of myself, expecting a raise or even expecting to keep my job if I didn’t even do the basic function of my job.
At this point not sure if the criminals or the police themselves need a light batoning on the backside (not literally obv, well except for the criminals of this level).
Oh, the embarrassment for the police when they realise she’d been sleeping in her car for four weeks and they missed a chance to arrest her for public vagrancy.
