Bailiffs Stole Cash, Keys, Jewellery Or Diamonds

Bailiffs often engage in criminal activities, including robbery and distraction burglary, knowing that the police have a deep-seated belief that bailiffs are above criminal conduct. Consequently, police frequently dismiss bailiff crimes as a civil matter, providing a protective shield for these wrongdoings.

High Court Enforcement Officers often employ bailiffs to recover judgments, typically targeting middle-class and high-net-worth individuals linked to the debtor company as directors. These bailiffs, cunningly using deceitful tactics like the Threshold Maneuver, bypass the requirement to provide a Notice of Enforcement to catch occupants off guard.

Working in pairs, one bailiff stays with the occupants while the other heads straight to the master bedroom, where valuable items such as jewellery, gold, coins, diamonds, and watches are usually kept. To create a cover story, they ransack the house, upending drawers and scattering contents indiscriminately.

When a bailiff operates alone, they may call the police on 999, accusing the occupants of assaulting him. Unaware of the ruse, the police stay downstairs with the occupants while the bailiff has free rein to search the bedrooms.

Bailiffs often turn off their body-worn cameras, evidenced by a muffled beep, before entering the bedrooms, knowing that the police perceive them as untouchable and immune from criminal liability.

Valuable items are frequently discovered missing after the bailiff's visit, but these items are never listed on the inventory that bailiffs are required to provide when taking control of goods. It is crucial to report such incidents to the police immediately, as these actions constitute robbery.

By reporting, you are taking a proactive step against the exploitation of the bailiff's position to commit a crime, and the stolen items are swiftly hidden away.

Even if the police insist that the matter the crfime is a civil matter, do not be deterred. The police may demand proof of the stolen goods, knowing that family heirlooms and antiques passed down through generations lack receipts and sales invoices.

After the bailiff has left, it's crucial to act swiftly and ensure you still have your house and car keys. If these are missing, there's a significant risk that the bailiff will return to burgle your home and steal your car. Bailiffs often leave the car a few miles away and monitor if you track it using its GPS.

To safeguard your property, it's imperative to promptly change all the locks in your home.

Should the police persist in treating the crime as a civil matter, remember that you have the right to seek legal assistance.

Engage an expert to build your case. File a complaint against the specific police officer under section 1 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980, for committing an offence under section 26 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015.
