Lincolnshire Police officer stole colleague's jacket and turned up at the station wearing itA former Lincolnshire Police officer has faced a misconduct hearing after he stole a jacket from a colleague. During the hearing at Lincolnshire Police HQ in Nettleham, it was heard that former PC Kevin Darby, who was stationed at Gainsborough, stole a black police issue Arktis jacket worth £200 from a fellow officer on November 2, 2023.
When the colleague returned to the locker room to collect her jacket, she discovered it was missing, and the car key that had been in its pocket was instead in her locker. Days later on November 7, Darby arrived at work wearing a similar jacket to the one that had been taken. When questioned, he claimed to have bought it in Leicester over the weekend.
However, after reviewing CCTV footage, Darby was seen leaving the station with a large item under his arm from the area where the jacket had been stolen. This led to his arrest for theft. Subsequent DNA testing on the jacket revealed traces from both Darby and the officer from whom it had been stolen, resulting in charges being filed against the former PC.https://uk.yahoo.com/news/lincolnshire-police-officer-stole-colleagues-120616206.html
