Ring doorbells free for victims of crime.

[Deleted User]

Following a series of incidents at my house,resulting in smashed windows and doors,my Ring doorbell was also broken.The police informed me that Amazon provide free Ring doorbells to victims of certain crimes (including,in my case,harassment)on production of a valid crime number.Amazon say this is not the case but,on checking back with the police,they assure me it's definitely correct and sent me a local crime/policing leaflet which also says this.It doesn't,however,provide more details of how actually to get the doorbell,beyond having to have a crime reference number.Does anyone else know about this?

No but sounds fab if it is true!

Are they getting confused with this - only applies to select doorbells and appears to be if they are stolen rather than broken.

Google throws up an old project back in 2019 but that is long gone. Does your leaflet have a date on it?
You'd think amazon would know if they are the ones paying for them.
