No Further Action: What Does It Mean?

This means the police or CPS have decided not to proceed with a charge or prosecution in your case. This decision is typically made due to insufficient evidence to support a conviction or because pursuing a prosecution is not in the public interest. Once this decision is made, the investigation ends and the case is closed. Therefore, bail conditions immediately cease to apply and you are no longer required to attend the police station if you had a bail return date. We will also request the return of any property seized by the police if applicable.
