UK: Drug dealer who copied police files jailed and fined £1,250

Posted on June 3, 2010 by Dissent

Angus Howarth reports:

A drug-dealing police worker caught with secret work documents at her home was jailed for over two years yesterday.

Laura Young copied crime files and police reports while working at Grampian Police headquarters in Aberdeen.

The 22-year-old even showed a confidential file to the person concerned in the report.

She also obtained a list of the names of 40 people arrested in connection with the force’s Operation Lochnagar set up to get drug dealers off the streets.
