Luckily I got my money back from the bank within the month.
Strictly speaking the police are correct on this point if it was indeed a credit card, and not a debit card. Under those circumstances the credit card company has been defrauded as it is their money that has been taken. By definition, credit is money you don`t have so it isn`t your's to be take from.

The bank should not have told you to go to the police, they should have dealt with it.
