fany9560- yes, they did carry Police ID, just no business cards or any type of information that I could keep in reference. In the end I asked one of them to leave me the station number, and he did, after consulting his mobile telephone. But, having seen the BBC and other links on the case, I do hope they'll eventually catch this guy, sounds like it has been going on for far too long and feels uneasy to learn he might be living in our neighbourhood.

Just to update - two plain clothes police officers at the door very early this morning (07:30) showing us the photofit from the link in davidl's earlier post quoted above - asking if we had seen anything. Apparently they intend to make sure everyone has seen the photofit. They took our names and asked how long we've lived at the address.

I think it is our turn to get this visit, just got the call to book the appointment to get someone to visit us from the local police team to ask some questions.
