Three officers from the Met Police – one serving and two former – have been cleared of misconduct in relation to the 2018 arrest of a drug dealer in Kensington.
The panel determined that gross misconduct was not proven against a serving Met officer – referred to as Officer M after being granted anonymity by the chair - as well as former Detective Sergeant Michael Harding and former Detective Constable Stephen Lane. All three officers were previously attached to the Specialist Crime unit.
