Police worker snorted cocaine

A POLICE worker resigned after being caught on film snorting cocaine in her office, it was disclosed yesterday.

Lyndsey Dinning, 31, quit her job in the fingerprint department of Greater Manchester Police (GMP) after an undercover operation.

A camera was placed in her office following a tip-off and she was arrested last December after being caught in the act.

The former laboratory officer tested positive for cocaine and resigned from her job.

Dinning, of Marleyer Close, Moston, pleaded guilty to possession of Class A drugs at Warrington Crown Court on April 27.

She also admitted misuse of a computer, after she accessed information about friends and family from a police database.
