Wouldn't it be "It's source"?
As for the OP I think he may have been hit by Chinese Whispers.
Legal system at it's best...

As for the OP I think he may have been hit by Chinese Whispers.
I too cannot believe someone can be 'processed' in such a short time, but for all intents and purposes I'm talking to an educated/honest man who has now spent some time with the lady in question (his nanny) and is bewildered at the outcome/treatment...
If more information comes forwards I'll post it... Because as far as I'm concerned this is what happened... And I'm aghast as any of you...
LOL! A spelling correction to make it incorrect.. Class!
Easy way to remember - "It's" is short for "it is".

Great you might want to get your title edited then; it was "its best" that I meant to put. As it happens, "its source" makes perfect sense, in the context of "give me its source, because your OP smells like BS and you've nothing to back it up."

LOL! Serves me right
As for "it's source", it is wrong. It should be "its source" - Swap "it's" for "it is" and see if it sounds right:-
- Give me its source.
- Give me it is source.
It's east to get its spelling wrong.
As for you're final comment... Sorry, as BS as it sounds, as far as I know - and I trust my colleague completely - it's the honest truth. Hopefully more details will come forward. Personally I hope it does turn out to be BS and some miscommunication somewhere (which I find hard to believe) as it sounds just mad! But as far as I'm concerned at the moment it's true.

It sounds like an urban myth to me. Like the old McDonald's coffee boyfriend story et al.
Nope... Afraid not... It's certainly not a 'myth'
As more info arises I will post. That's all I can do...

Is it even possible to withdraw £500 from an ATM?
I think you can personally amend your daily limit from an ATM, I'm pretty sure £400 is standard though, mine is anyway.

Burn him!

I would be surprised. My limit is £200. Perhaps some banks allow you to increase the limit, but £500 for someone who's first language isn't English sounds like a bit of a stretch to me.
Exactly even if the story is total bs (which it sounds like) they'll still print it pay her £1k, then in 3 weeks time print a 3 line retraction on page 8.

This just wouldnt happen. My guess is the nanny is spinning a yarn to your work mate. I would be seriously checking the nanny out with the police right now. Could be she has been prosecuted for something else and has finally been charged and is using this story as a cover. Or she could have taken the money. This just doesnt stack up.

Just to clear up a common misconception. For over 20 years the Crown Prosecution Service have been the ultimate arbiter as to whether or not a case is run in a Court of law - not the Police.
For the last few years the CPS have even taken over the direction of the investigtion in a lot of cases - they look at the evidence the Police have in their posession, review it, and then instruct the Officer in the case to go back and take additional statements etc.
The CPS also authorise what charges are going to be laid against the individual/s (there are some matters where the Police can decide but they tend to be fairly minor).
There even exists an out of hours CPS service during the night and at weekends where Officers can ring them up, send them details of the evidence etc., and then get a quick reply as to what to do.
In your friends Nannys case I would have hoped that the CPS were consulted and given the facts. I find it highly unlikely that given the circumstances - ie the Nanny being a complainant in a Robbery, who fought back using reasonable force to prevent her attackers from hurting her and perhaps getting away - that the CPS would have then authorised a charge of Assault against the Nanny - the case would not have faced up to close scrutiny if that were the case.
I strongly suspect that either the Nanny isn't being entirely truthful? or perhaps due to her limited grasp of English - the real story has been lost in translation?

Don't worry Mr. gelion, I sit in the Youth courts, a place I suspect you have not seen for a long, long time 
Believe this has been done... ie: They've spoken to the police station. Infact while she was being held my colleague and his wife tried to go in to assist her, but in the end were turned away - even though they could help with the interpretation - because they were not relatives.
So they got from the station, first hand, the story/charge(s).
I absolutely concur it sounds pretty amazing/unbelievable, but can you see (eg: from what I've just posted above) how it seems to be true? I've looked for holes myself, and there don't seem to be any!
So are you saying that they didn't take a statement under caution from her? If, during that time, they didn't take her in to another room for an interview then there's your bit that doesn't make ANY sense. They didn't think that it was worth getting a statement for her, yet passed it on to the CPS?
To be honest most of the tale does not stack up to me, but then criminal law is not my forte.

Never been there, tbh. Never needed to.
You can't see any holes in the story...? LOLWUT
Quick... someone call Aunt Jessica!
