A Metropolitan Police officer has been terminated for viewing Wayne Couzens custody records, the BBC reported. The Independent also reported the dismissal. The decision follows a disciplinary investigation into unauthorized access of sensitive custody files. The officer is no longer employed by the Metropolitan Police.
Separately, a police operation continues in southeast London woodland, the London Evening Standard said. Officers remain at the scene as searches proceed in the wooded area. Both stories concern the Metropolitan Police in London as well.
