If they found nothing on the devices and they have returned them all to you, then that should be the end of it.

A copy of the search warrent should of been left with you, according to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 Section 16 (5c) thats a legal requirment of executing a search warrant.

We never had any copy of a search warrant either, it was all so quickly sprung upon us and we had never experienced anything like this before, we just didn't know what was happening or what to expect x

Daisy - Did they specifically say they were executing a search warrant, as there are two ways in which they can undertake a search of your house, one is with a warrant and the second is via PACE section 32 where an officer can search an individuals address after they have been arrested for an indictable offence.

However, in both cases paperwork should be left, either a copy of the warrant or form 920. It took three months and an official complaint to get our copy of form 920.

Were you left with contact details for the person dealing with the case? If you have questions they may be able to answer them for you and should appreciate that you wouldn’t have been in the right headspace to ask them on the day.
