I cannot give the full details of this as it is being investigated (very badly) by the police.
At the start of September 2019, my daughter (aged 14) and myself took on the share of a building, of which another women was also sharing. The owner of the building told us the other lady was lovely and we would have no problems with her. When we moved in she was indeed lovely, but after about a month, lots of controlling behaviour/weird mood swing emerged. Gas lighting and generally not being all that nice. We are fairly quiet and don't like trouble so did everything to keep her happy.
One night at the start of November she had a total meltdown, screaming all kinds of very nasty obscenities and lies and accusing me of some very bizarre things, including being sexually attracted to her husband. I reported this to the owner of the building who said that this woman did have history (I was angry as when we moved there she told us she was lovely) She said she would speak to her.
I was shocked to be told the next day by the owner that she had spoken to her and that her story was very different and she did not know who to believe so thought it best if we left.....I was beyond shocked!!! She refused to tell me what the other story was.
From that day onwards we endured daily nastiness, being sworn at, shouted at and our property damaged. I tried to speak to the owner but she refused to engage and did not want to know, despite me having evidence/video footage.
At the beginning of December I received a call from the police. They said if I did not attend a voluntary interview at the station I would be arrested. They would not tell me why. I was absolutely petrified. I arrived with my duty solicitor to face nine of the most insane allegations of stalking, being in possession of knives and some other pretty awful stuff.
Two days after the interview I received a call to say the charges were dropped. However a few days later I received a follow up email telling me to stay away from this woman and her husband.
They continued their campaign of intimidation/harassment and my solicitor told me to report them to the police, as one of the incidents amounted to assault by her husband. I did this and 24 hours later, received a phone call telling me they would not investigate as I was merely making counter allegations.
Aside from their behaviour towards us, they began to spread horrendous rumours about us within the area. Such was their aggression (particularly the husband) that I have now made 5 reports to the police, telling them that I believed them to be dangerous, and that I believed we were in danger of serious harm, but this wasn't addressed and no one has acted.
Two weeks ago and after the last report, the husband waited for my daughter and I in a rural area after dark and subjected us to a terrifying road rage attack during which he deliberately drove his car at us ( bumper to bumper) and followed us. I made an emergency call to police. I was told that as we had arrived home we were considered safe and no one would be attending. I was told someone would come out to talk to us.....but heard nothing else.
I cannot give full details but this week, whilst driving it became apparent there was a problem with my vehicle. A mechanic confirmed that it had been tampered with and could have badly injured or killed me/a third party on the road. Police were called but when I said I was certain who had done this, I was told I had no proof.
This man has a known history of aggression (particularly against women) but the hardest thing to deal with is that he is a member of the emergency services.
There are now 5 incidents in which he has behaved aggressively towards us. The woman has phoned several establishments telling lies about us. Has told people I'm having an affair with a married man (total rubbish) and that my daughter and I are both sluts. There are many other things which I cannot report here.
AIBU to think the police have not acted because of this man's profession?
They have done this to other people previously yet nothing has been done to stop them.
I now have an appointment booked at the station but have been told it's unlikely they will face any charges.
