A former Metropolitan Police officer has been found not guilty of three counts of making an indecent image of a child.

PC George Patmore was cleared last week by a jury at Southwark Crown Court.

Patmore, who was attached to the North East Command Unit, pleaded guilty to publishing an obscene article and will be sentenced on 17 September.

He was dismissed from the force following a misconduct hearing in April 2023.
