Police officer sent information about suspects to wealthy victim who told her he was 'on his way to strangle them'
A policewoman quit her job in disgrace after being caught passing on sensitive information about suspects to a wealthy businessman out for revenge after a burglary.
In one text she said: “Totally forgot about names I’ll sort tomoz! Sorry'' to which Ashbrook then asked her not to tell anyone what he might do next adding: Prosecutor Oliver King told the court: ''Whilst investigating criminal offences against Ashbrook, officers discovered a WhatsApp chat log on his mobile phone which contained a conversation between him and the defendant about a burglary that had occurred at his home address in Cheshire.
Mr King added: ''Another WhatsApp conversation took place between Ashbrook and the defendant in January 2019, in which she messaged: “Totally forgot about names I’ll sort tomoz! Sorry xxx” . Further inquiries revealed Ashbrook had requested details about an Audi seen in his firm’s yard. Then in May 2020 she sent him the names of two men along with details of their antecedents saying she had used the PNC to obtain the data.
“Mr Ashbrook was the victim of a burglary at his premises and the defendant was in the control room when it was reported. She was aware of the business and had known Mr Ashbrook since childhood and were close friends.
