Is this a police issue??

Can someone tell me if this is a police issue.My daughters ex got his daughter to call my daughters car insurers pretending to be my daughtet and told them she had sold her car and to cancel the policy due to this my daughter had to get rid of her car as she could not afford to renew it.Then 2wks ago the police came to see my daughter they had a certificate of ownership of my daughters dog from petlog kennel club and it was in her ex name.  We were shocked as my daughter got her dog when he was a pup in 2012 and his chip wss done in 2012 in her name so we called petlog and we were told they had recieved a change of ownership form signed by my daughter (in her old surname as her surname was changed in April)They also have a tel recording from a female pretending to be my daughter to confirm change of ownership. My daughter did not sign any form or make that call and the dog is still with her. Petlog was happy that my daughter was telling the truth and placed it all Back in my daughters name with a new chip and id number and are going to write to her ex.Then my daughter received court papers stating he was taking her to court to get his dog back,  the dog was bought by him in 2012 for £400 he bought it for her.All vet bills since then was paid for by my daugter and all paperwork inc insurance for him has always been in her name. She also has emails from him admitting hitting the dog, and emails from his daughter telling her back in april to come down to exeter service station to get him which she drove down with my wife to get him. Then because she told him she didnt want anything to do with him no more she got emails from his daughter's partner saying her ex wanted £400 or the dog when my daughter thretened with the police they emailed her saying keep the dog and dont ever contact us again. She also was sent a letter from her ex saying he had enclosed the dogs paperwork. But now he is trying to take her to court over custody of the dog.  Over the petlog and insurance stuff should she report it to the police?

I would be asking the CAB if they know of a pro bono lawyer if legal help is not available.

Update: We went to a solicitor but apparently Legal aid wont cover this case and because my daughter is on Job seekers and at college training she cant afford a solicitor who wants £150 a Hour with a £750 up front fee. As i stated in my first message "Petlog Kennel Club" stated my daughter could have a copy of the form that her Ex signed without her knowing and a copy of the tel recording of his daughter if a Solicitor put in a request to them. But now she has to represent herself how can she get that evidence herself from "Petlog" ??

Must be a form of stalking?  Ask the safer neighbourhood team for advice, maybe?

My daughters ex got his daughter to call my daughters car insurers pretending to be my daughter and told them she had sold her car and to cancel the policy Surly impersonating someone else and canceling their car insurance is a crime

Leaving aside all the ins and outs of the dog's ownership - this could be seen as harassment, your daughter could report it just to be on the safe side. They sound like a bunch of morons who shouldn't keep fleas let alone a dog.

Speak to Cooper & Co. They specialize in the laws around dog ownership and advise all the major charities, like Battersea and Dogs Trust. Their website is www.doglaw.co.uk
