Can anyone give me some hope that it hasn't taken years for their phone to be back please?

My sons work phone was back immediately, his laptop within a few weeks and his mobile back within a couple of months. His offence was communication though so that might be the reason why.

We are almost 9 months in. Our 16yr old tablet, iPhone and xbox were taken. Last update was they were due to start checking them on 28th but didn't confirm that had happened or know how long it would be before done.

My partners phone come back after 3 months. But they then sent it off again snd then it had to go to cps. Cps is what took the time.

Why did they send it off again? Did it take longer the second time?

Our devices were taken in September and we were told we would be very lucky if they were back in 12 months, more likely to be 15 months. Kind of prepared for life as 'normal' up until then. Planned holidays etc. Got a call last week they are back. I'd say don't set a time frame because I feel more devastated that I felt we had more time, but of course you don't want to be in limbo and want it over with. Such a distressing time regardless!

My OHs case took 11 months from the knock to sentencing at Crown in 2021. I think it varies massively area to area. He didn't get his devices back but I think they took about 7-8 months to be checked.
