They told me nothing could be done without my making a written statement, and to walk to the station and make one. That's like a 20 minute walk, and I didn't much fancy those lads coming back for a second go. In the UK I'm fairly sure that a report like that would provoke a swift and effective response.
Can you not make written statements at your own address in Spain then?
The last thing I'd have wanted was the police round my house
But I lived 20 miles from the attack anyway.
Surely in the UK it'd be maximum effort to get them - there they are, you have descriptions, make, model, colour and registration of car - everything you want. Would the action be to wait for the person reporting the attack to make their way home or to the station before going out hunting?
