Policeman jailed for 7/7 fraud

A counter-terrorism officer was jailed today after being convicted of defrauding the UK's Metropolitan Police out of thousands of pounds in a property scam during the July 7 bombings investigation.

Detective Constable Daren Pooley, 41, took the opportunity to make a “quick profit” out of his employers while on a long-term deployment to Leeds following the terrorist attacks on London in 2005.
