My flat (rented from a housing association) was broken into by the Police (I was at home, so they could have rang the bell) during an investigation. After the whole case, the landlord sent me a bill of about £1400 for the repairs. the investigating officer in the case said that the police are usually responsible for damages they cause during investigation, but all attempt to get information on who to send the bill to has failed. Does anyone know how to make this claim in London and which police department usually deal with this claims. please give me as much detail as possible. Thanks

Actual, moral and exemplary damages could be claimed against the Police for damage to properties during an investigation.

File charges against them in court like trespassing and damage to property. file a complaint against them at the London Metropolitan Police Commission. If u are a foreigner ask assistance from your country's embassy there. Talk w/ the owner of ur apartment to help u w/ this problem.

What about your insurance company?
