If somebody sold shares in a company that had already been dissolved surely that is fraud not a civil matter? I realise the police are busy but this is £10,000 frankly I could do with in my pocket.
What do you guys think ?

I agree with doing both. If the police are fobbing you off, escalate it to someone senior.

It's happened in January 2011 behind our backs, only transpired due to divorce half those shares should be mine only they don't exist and never had. Sure that's fraud, it must be ... I find the whole thing unbelievable ...
