This is potentially a very serious situation for you. Accordingly, you should not speak to the police without having a lawyer present. This is true even if they come to your house. The fact is that they are trained and experienced in getting people to make incriminating statements either about themselves or others. At this point, you need to consult immediately with a criminal law attorney in your area. they can best advise you further.
