The Police officer just left. She was here from 8 am to after 11 am. She was extremely helpful. She took full statements from myself and my son, and took other evidence. She stated that Thames Valley Police take assaults on the person extremely seriously, so it will probably be progressed over the next few days.
Of course whether or not this can lead to a successful prosecution may be another matter, but I was very strongly left with the impression that the Police would do all they possibly can. I don't see that they could have been much more helpful to be honest, and I was happy and impressed with their response and attitude. I'm not always massively impressed with the Police, especially where property crime in concerned, but in this case, I'd very highly commend them.
