No Derek not the polices fault at all, no stolen goods have been handled at all, three hundred quid is a perfectly reasonable sum for a thirty grand caravan and it sounded to me like the police.found the loophole for them.

I'm 99.9% certain if the Police and CPS charged the current occupants with theft then another member of the travelling fratenity would appear saying he sold it to them at that price as a favour after buying it from another traveller called Paddy who sold it to him cheap as payment for such and such after he bought it from Irish Mick who got it as a wedding present from etc. etc. etc. In certain circles the concept of a 'thieves bargain' holds very little evidential value.

If it was a car or other object then the Police powers are a bit more clear, as it is they cannot LEGALLY seize the caravan, making people homeless. It's the same as squatting cases, the Police know fine well that the occupants didn't just chance upon an open window but broke in but unless they can prove it there is precisely sod all that can be done with the law about it.

IIRC the CPS make those decision NOT the police, often much to the frustration of the latter.

Well reading between the lines of the article the offending caravan dwellers have already been arrested and not enough evidence to proceed with a charge was found (CPS probably want a confession signed in blood)

After that the Police need evidence or sufficient cause to arrest again, much as they would like to harass perpetual crims if they continually arrest and pester them all that will happen is complaints will fly about and the crim will end up with a tax payer funded payout for Police harassment.

Sources say it started when two special ops officers from the 12th Precinct were operating a "push off" on Andover near Seven Mile. That is when two undercover officers pretend to be dope dealers, waiting for eager customers to approach, and then arrest potential buyers and seize their vehicles.

But this time, instead of customers, special ops officers from the 11th Precinct showed up. Not realizing they were fellow officers, they ordered the other undercover officers to the ground.

FOX 2 is told the rest of the special ops team from the 12th Precinct showed up, and officers began raiding a house in the 19300 block of Andover. But instead of fighting crime, officers from both precincts began fighting with each other.
