Visits following the knock?
Notifications OFF
Whilst being in limbo (police have my OH’s phone but didn’t arrest him and we are waiting for them to search it) is there a chance of any unexpected visits or would it be a phone call asking for an interview? I find myself worrying about making any plans and I feel on high alert and anxious whenever I hear people or cars outside. I have this fear of having another experience similar to the initial knock we had with police - with this time them taking him away either at home or work if they were to find something? What are your experiences with this and is it a situation I should brace myself for or am I over worrying?
Not to cause alarm but if there wasn't an initial arrest they may visit again to arrest him once his phone has been checked. Hopefully this won't be the case since there isn't really the need for the element of surprise to avoid the suspect fleeing.
If you're in an area that has a liaison officer for these kinds of offences you might find it beneficial to contact them and explain your concerns, they are trialing these liaison officers so I suppose it would be an opportunity for them to learn how to support families in the fall out xxx

Hello Ocean13,
My partner was released on bail until the second interview.
We had a knock at our home early in the morning, during which they took some devices. I had a call with LFF some days after, and with a solicitor. In my case, they said there shouldn't be any reason for them to return, and advised me to stay calm because this won't happen unless he breaks any rule under his bail conditions. This would be the only case in which they can turn up at home and arrest him.
Hope this is useful but I know all cases are different.
I got a call from the officer in charge to just inform me that he could go to pick his devices at the police station.

Hi thank you for your responses! I hope that this won't be the case as I don't know how I'd cope. I already feel traumatised from what has happened and feel like I'm constantly bracing myself for more bad news or worry they will take him. It feels like a nightmare. I get shaky when I get a call or message from his mum, or don't hear from him while he's at work. Does anyone else feel this way? Normal things make me feel so anxious now :(
Hi, yes I've had that feeling of dread since the day my son was arrested. We're now 7 months post sentencing and the feeling is a lot more manageable with more good days than bad. I still get a rush of anxiety whenever I see my son has sent me a message or is phoning me but I come down from it much more quickly now.
I have now accepted that I'll probably have anxiety for the foreseeable future and am working hard on ensuring I manage it so that it doesn't stop me moving forward.
