Wibu to call the police on this neighbour?

I've posted about this neighbour before, she moved in about a month ago and since then there has been noise, people in and out, arguing with elderly neighbours and police called numerous times.

She also has an old sofa in the communal hallway and broke off the banister bringing the new sofa upstairs. At this point I called the council and made a complaint. Within a few hours they came out and fixed the bannisters and the floor which she has also destroyed.

She then has rubbish practically outside my front door including beans all over the floor. Dp knocked and asked her to clear that up and the rubbish and within ten minutes she had cleared it.

Within half an hour she was knocking again shouting that there was 2 men in her house who wouldn't leave. The 2 men told dp that she had stolen money from them as she had offered sex for £30 then refused sex. The police were then called. She argued with the police.

A few hours later there was another man there who got her attention by buzzing all of the flat doors.

One of the elderly neighbours told me that she walks up and down the street approaching men for paid sex.

Last night dp came home and said as he was coming up the stairs a man was coming down distressed saying she had invited him up for sex and took the money and then told him to get out otherwise she would tell the police that he had tried to rape her.

The police have been called numerous times so are aware of her. She's 22 with bi polar and lives alone.
But would I be unreasonable to call 101 and mention the anti social behaviour and the incidences with the men?

Didn't realise that was so long!

The police already know all that. What information do you think you can add to what they know?

TenForward82 · 06/09/2015 13:46

She obviously needs help with mental health issues. 101 worth a try.

spanisharmada · 06/09/2015 13:46

I think you should report it as she sounds vulnerable and in need of support.

Of course YWNBU! Blimey, I would have called 101 a looooooong time ago. You have my sympathy. It must be very stressful.

Vixxfacee · 06/09/2015 13:47

That she's actually inviting men to come up and takes their money threatening them with the rape comment.
I am not sure they know that. When they came the other day I'm not sure what she told them. I doubt she told them what she was up to.

I would definitely phone them. I think she needs to be protected, you all need to be protected and even the men coming up there for sex need to be protected.

MammaTJ · 06/09/2015 13:48

Pretty sure if it is a council place they would be interested in her using the place for prostitution, fake or otherwise!

spanisharmada · 06/09/2015 13:49

Even if they are broadly aware of the situation, the usual advice is to keep reporting. They really won't mind.

justtheonethen · 06/09/2015 13:49

I don't think you would be unreasonable to call 101 about this. Selfishly I wouldn't want to have angry men in the building for a start. Her behaviour is putting others at risk.
If she is bipolar could you not get in touch with mh crisis team in your area, she must be known and it doesn't sound as if she's coping.

Vixxfacee · 06/09/2015 13:50

Will call 101 tomorrow then. Thank you everyone. Didn't want to be seen as a nosy neighbour!

Not unreasonable at all. She clearly needs more support than she has at the moment and it's not fair for you as her neighbours to have all this disturbing you all the time. Logging these things with the police can only be a good thing for everyone in the long run.

I lived upstairs from someone who was almost exactly like you say. From my experience the police will be waiting for something catastrophic to happen so that they can actually get some in patient care. In the case of the girl I lived upstairs from this was her setting fire to her flat while she was in it. The police actually said it was a relief to them as with all the men she had in and out of the flat who were total strangers and the arguments she had with them they fully expected her to be seriously attacked or killed. Keep reporting, hopefully it will lead to her getting some proper support.

MH services or adult social services might be a good try too actually.

TheCatsFlaps · 06/09/2015 14:23

I'm going to go out on a limb: she doesn't sound mentally ill, she just sounds like a selfish cunt. I've been through something similar with my neighbour. When she had an ASBO, she knew enough to keep her head down and not rock the boat. She was turning tricks, watering the garden at midnight, fighting with police and cut a nurse in A&E the moment the ASBO was lifted. Some people are just bad.
