Police investigation launched in Hertfordshire after officer's trousers are allegedly put up for sale online
Hertfordshire Constabulary has released a statement on the matter
Police trousers have been spotted on Vinted, an online marketplace for buying and selling clothes, sparking a Hertfordshire Constabulary investigation.
A statement on the force’s website alleges Inspector Owen Hurley took payment for the trousers.
According to the statement, the officer’s behaviour may amount to “gross misconduct – breaching the standards of professional behaviour for honesty and integrity, discreditable conduct and duties and responsibilities”.
It adds: “The circumstances are that a member of the public contacted police on 29 July, 2023, stating there were police uniform trousers for sale on Vinted.”
A hearing is due to take place at the Hertfordshire Constabulary headquarters in Welwyn Garden City tomorrow (6 February).
