A former Metropolitan Police officer has pleaded not guilty to allegations of defrauding luxury retailers, including Christian Dior and Cartier, out of thousands of pounds worth of online purchases.
Sunna Harrison-Aziz, 28, of Coulsdon, south London, has been charged with five counts of corrupt or improper exercise of police powers and privileges, four allegations of fraud by false representation and one charge of perverting the course of justice.
Prosecutors allege the former Met Pc claimed not to have received goods she had ordered on the internet.
During an appearance at Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday, Harrison-Aziz spoke only to confirm her name and pleaded not guilty to all 10 charges.
She appeared alongside her co-defendant Edgar Morais, 30, of Croydon, south London, who denied a single count of encouraging Harrison-Aziz to corruptly or improperly exercise her police powers or privileges.
According to the indictment, Harrison-Aziz allegedly pretended to not have received a Dior bikini worth £700.
It is alleged that she made a false representation to Currys by claiming she had not received delivery of an Apple MacBook, worth £2,599.
The former officer is accused of a similar fraud against Cartier, allegedly claiming not to have received delivery of a £1,920 Mini Love wedding band, and against Moncler Spa, allegedly claiming not to have received delivery of an £840 Abelle jacket.
Harrison-Aziz is also accused of five incidents between January and September 2022 when she allegedly accessed police files improperly.
She faces a further allegation of attempting to pervert the course of justice by hiding her iPhone from police, lying that she had lost it and it was broken, and then allegedly destroying the handset after the police search of her home had concluded. A trial date has been fixed for March 27, 2028.
Concluding the hearing, Judge Nicholas Rimmer said: “You have entered not guilty pleas to all the counts you face.
“Your trial has been fixed to the earliest available date – I am sorry it’s so far away but that’s simply the case for the court here and up and down the land.”
A third defendant, Eugene Nunoo, 30, of Eastbourne, East Sussex, also pleaded not guilty to a single count of encouraging Harrison-Aziz to corruptly or improperly exercise her police powers or privileges.
He appeared at the same court via video link on Tuesday afternoon.
