Taser firm loses licence over Moat police breaches

The company which supplied the Tasers used by police in the stand-off with gunman Raoul Moat has had its licence revoked, the British Home Office said today.

Home Secretary Theresa May revoked Pro-Tect Systems’ licence to supply the weapons after it “breached its licence by supplying X12 Tasers direct to police that were only available for supply to the Home Office Science and Development branch”.
