And what process did you have to go through please?

He is 10 months post sentencing and my request for device return was refused due to them "still working through the case". What does this mean? They still have my work computer!

Oh gosh Lee!

What does it mean for the case to still be open?! I'd be so grateful if you can share any information you have at all, I'm super anxious.

Both mine and his phone got destroyed after sentencing. My phone had nothing illegal on it at all. Two years of my childrens photos/videos and the first year of my daughter's life completely gone forever.

Whyus that doesn't sound right and I would seek legal advice because that is crazy! My partner got devices back that had no iiocs. And he was able to request and pay for the retrieval of photos from devices that were destined to be destroyed.

It is so stupid to see that treatment of devices of innocent people is not consistent. Unfortunately you won't get the images back bit how the police, solicitor and courts handled this is appalling

Anything that is "clean" should be returned even before the case is "closed" for whatever reason.Write to the chief connstable and/or make a complaint.They have no right to keep devices on which nothing was found.

We didn't get any of our three devices back.
