Undie cover cop quits after lads' mag exposure

A British woman police officer under investigation for stripping off her uniform to appear in a lads’ mag, has quit the force, it was confirmed today.

Pc Rachelle Pantoja, 27, who posed in her work wear for the photo-shoot feature in Zoo magazine, has handed in her notice, Greater Manchester Police said.

The 34C wpc was pictured opening her white police blouse before peeling off her blue serge trousers and stripping to her underwear – revealing a scorpion tattoo on her stomach.

Ms Pantoja, is quoted in the magazine as saying, “I don’t care what my bosses say. Nobody in the force knows about my modelling past, so this is my dark, dirty secret!”

The feature appeared in this week’s edition of the magazine – and her police bosses were not amused.

Ms Pantoja, a police officer for four years, was put under investigation by the Internal Affairs department at Greater Manchester Police (GMP), transferred to the Traffic Division and put on restricted duties.

Today GMP confirmed Ms Pantoja is quitting the force.

A spokeswoman for the force said: “Greater Manchester Police have received official notification from Police Constable Rachelle Pantoja of her intention to resign from the force.”

Ms Pantoja, from Sale, Greater Manchester, told the magazine she intends to boost her bust size by having silicone implants in a bid to look like a page 3 model.

She posed in her underwear under the feature ’Real Copper Strips’ after answering an appeal in the mag asking for anyone who works in a uniform and who likes to strip off to appear in a photo shoot.

Ms Pantoja will be appearing in next week’s issue of the magazine wearing just her underwear.
