Hi all,

has anyone had experience in the south east of England especially around Luton with beds police.



my OH was arrested 6 weeks ago and bail return date is 4th march.



But looking at the forum this will be extended a couple of times but looking for any ideas from anyone else as struggling with family and short term living arrangements for him.



Thanks x

Hi, not sure what you're asking exactly but I'm in the South East. My person is due in court for sentencing in a few weeks time. That will be 3 years since his arrest.

Hi Robin,



thanks for sharing - wow 3 years. Crazy.

beds police and will be Luton crown court. Was hoping to get some insight into people's experience with this force in particular.

Hi, knock 2020. Just coming to sentencing in a few weeks time . First offence. Only one court delay of 5 weeks the rest of the time it's taken is down to the police.
it's very rare i see on here these things concluded before at least 2 years. X

Hi we are South East but different force. Ours will be 3 years by the time it goes to court but that is because my person pled Not Guilty so we have a long wait for trial to start.

Bub84, my person is in the South East. He pleaded guilty immediately. It'll be 3 years when it goes to court for sentencing in a few weeks time.

LittleRobin... Oh my goodness I would have thought a guilty plea would have finished alot quicker, that's awful. It's so hard having this hanging over us all for so long. It's just a waiting game for us now until trial starts in August 2026 and even then it's a warned list and not a set date so could be even longer xx

Bub84, it's all horrendous. We're at Crown Court in just over 2 weeks time. I can barely function because I'm terrified of the press and social media. This is our second time round and first time it was on social media and in the press. I was threatened with eviction. I just can't go through all that again, especially as I have done nothing wrong.
