Not sure why a UK newspaper felt the need to point put this story happened in the UK.

Vanessa Brown called police response in Cobham, Surrey, ‘a complete overreaction’ that left her ‘catatonic’

Sounds a lot like a malicious ex partner to me.

Why the police engaged in it is beyond me. A phone call would have sufficed. If I were her I would be consulting a solicitor.
