That's not what they said. They said it was not criminal but civil, which a lot of contract and tort law falls under, it means the police won't do the investigation for you.
I don't know why they considered that this was not fraud, which is criminal but maybe they couldn't point to a detail that showed where the fraud took place.
They might also have been wrong to say that!
- dragonwriter 5y ago> the police won't do the investigation for you Even in criminal matters, they don't do the investigation for you, they do it for public prosecutors, which may or may not have incidental utility to you.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoThe article says "Police initially told him it was not fraud but are now investigating." My guess is the police couldn't be bothered. A friend of mine had a problem with squatters moving into his house (which wasn't empty). Initially the police refused to get involved until he got his solicitor to point out it was a criminal issue.
