Damage to Property (Trespass to Goods)
The police have powers to search and seize possessions during the course of their enquiries into crime. They have a duty, however to ensure the safekeeping of those items until they are no longer required as evidence, therefore, any damage to property can be claimed for.
Unless an order for forfeiture or seizure is made by the court the possessions should be returned to the owner promptly and in the same condition.
If the police have destroyed property that should rightly have been returned to you or failed to keep it in a reasonable condition then you may be able to make a claim.
Our Civil Litigation team can help you and discuss whether you have a viable claim or not. Contact them on 01642 247 656 for more information.
