Cops refused to recover a stolen car found by its owner minutes after being nicked - as they were too busy

A MOTORIST has slammed cops after he turned detective and tracked down his stolen car within minutes of it being nicked - only to be told officers were too busy to attend.

Alex, of Fallowfield, Manchester, decided to run to the street where the car was as it was less than a mile from his home. When he refused to agree to pay, the telephone operator said the case was closed and gave him a crime reference number so he could claim for damage on his insurance.Stunned Alex was left with no option but to take the law into his own hands and bravely jumped into his motor and drove it back home.

Alex slammed Gtr Manchester Police for its inaction - especially as the force boasted of launching Operation Dynamo in February which is aimed at cracking down on the car theft epidemic across South Manchester.“When I called them to say the car had been stolen, they said they were too busy. Then when I contacted them again and told them I had found it, they still weren’t interested.
