Drug squad police officers jailed after undercover sting

TWO elite police officers who were caught on a hidden camera taking and dealing cocaine during an undercover sting were jailed yesterday.

A total of three officers, who had all served on Britain's National Crime Squad, were trapped by the secret operation, one of whom ran a drugs den at the home he shared with his mistress.

Northampton Crown Court heard the group used the house, in Derbyshire, to take and share drugs with a serving prisoner and members of the public.
