KEEP BUSINESS AFLOAT

HELP AND SHARE!
I did not want to have to air all my business all over Facebook but I am struggling really badly and need help.
Finn Duffield (ex girlfriend’s little brother) was staying in my flat as he has stopped paying his landlord and had no where else to live.
He lived with me for around 2 weeks until he did the worst thing possible. He has stolen £20,000 cash from myself.
We was getting on perfectly fine, no arguments etc. Last Thursday 20th June we went out to watch England play football. I usually do not leave my cash laying around but on this instance I put it in my wardrobe in a yellow JD Bag as we was going out for the game and I thought it would be safe there. After the game we was out in a pub and Finn said he was going to get himself some illegal substances. Time had passed and he never returned to the pub so I decided I’ll go home as I had work the next day but I had to get a locksmith to get through my door as Finn had the keys.
Upon entry into my room I went straight to my wardrobe where the yellow JD bag had gone.
I phoned the police and they arrived and taken my statements etc and said they will be on look out for him and arrest him if they come across him.
I also had a text message from a girl who said Finn had put a story on his Snapchat of him in my room which another lad had taken of him but this got removed quickly.
Fast forward to Sunday I had a phone call to say Finn was in Blackpool with my money staying in hotels and buying lots of clothes etc and flashing my cash around.
I went to Blackpool with my brother to see if we could get any information on where he was etc. We had no luck but Finn’s Dad’s Girlfriend’s Son had supposedly gone to Blackpool with Finn and Finn had given him in the region of £1,000-£3,000 to go with him.
I phoned Finn’s dad and asked to speak to this lad and he was hesitant and wouldn’t pass me any contact information etc so I had to drive back to Rochdale and go to this lads house myself.
He denied all allegations at first but then local people on the estate who knew more information had said he was lying and he was bragging about going with Finn to Blackpool and spending my money. Eventually he cracked and said that Finn was in the Pembroke Hotel in Blackpool (not confirmed) but this lad decided to leave Blackpool on the Sunday as Finn was being silly throwing money around etc.
I have phoned the police told them all this information to only get told that the officer on my case is on rest until Thursday (today) I phoned up today and the officer answered and she said she read the notes but hasn’t done anything about it yet and was busy with another victim so will phone me back TOMORROW. The police are VERY uninterested.
Finn’s dad has supposedly been in contact with Finn. Finn is ringing him on no caller ID daily but no information is being passed onto myself and is just being kept quiet.
From what I can gather Finn has stolen my money in Halifax, gone straight to Rochdale to his friends house. They have both gone to Blackpool.
People know more information than they are letting on and I need this resolving as soon as possible.
Finn’s dad keeps saying last he knew Finn was going to hand himself into the police which hasn’t happened. I believe this is being said to buy more time.
Apparently Finn has thrown his phone into Blackpool sea and bought himself a new one and a new SIM card. He is still actively talking to people am uploading stories on Snapchat.
I run a fruit and vegetable market stall business and my business is run on credit. From this £20,000 a lot of money is owed to the suppliers.
I am now working to repay the suppliers and have nothing left for myself which is making me very depressed.
I need this to be shared around, if anyone sees Finn or knows any information on this please contact myself or the police.
More than likely the money will be spent and never coming back.
But he is still out there living his life spending my money whilst I’m sat having to work and repay his debt.
He has literally stabbed me in the back when I helped him when he needed it.
This is a last resort to post this on Facebook but I need help to bring justice. I have been robbed for all my hard earned money and what I had left in the bank I have transferred to the suppliers.
Please help!
