Hello, Police smashed their way into a block of 3 flats I own to interview some suspects. There was no need to use a battering ram to gain entry when there were call buttons and all three flats were occupied.

The damage cost just under £1,000 to repair.

The police have refused compensation as they claim “This was a lawful entry under Section 17 Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984”.

Has anyone have had to make a similar claim ?

Thanks,

Gordon
