A trainee police officer doctored a Covid-19 lateral flow test with red pen in a bid to get time off work.
Lancashire Police constable Ahmed Anwari fiddled the test to take advantage of isolation rules in place at the time, but his bosses were immediately suspicious due to the unconvincing results.
Anwari was asked to complete another test on a Microsoft Teams video call, but again failed to convince that the result was positive. Anwari resigned from his role the following day but misconduct proceedings were launched anyway, LancsLive reports.
