Met Police Employee Jailed For Exhibit Thefts And Child Porn

A Metropolitan Police employee has been jailed for two years and eight months after a probe into his theft of shotgun cartridges and mobile phones also exposed his fetish for illegal porn.
Adrian Milton, 49, had reported the 300 cartridges and two phones as 'destroyed', but the ammo was found during a police raid on his former address.
The disgraced property officer, of Swallowdale, South Croydon pleaded guilty to stealing the seized evidential items from Croydon Police Station between August 28, 2010 and March 17, 2016.
He also pleaded guilty to five counts of possessing extreme, prohibited and indecent images at his address on March 16, 2016.
Those counts related to pornography involving live animals, plus 46 prohibited images of a child.
Milton also had 446 Category A images of children; 379 Category B and 1675 Category C.
He was arrested on March 17, 2016 at Croydon Police Station, his place of employment after an investigation by the Directorate of Professional Standards (DPS) into the theft of items from the criminal exhibits store.
Milton was arrested again for the indecent images on June 1, 2016 and charged with all the offences on February 9, last year.
He was suspended from duty and later dismissed.
Detective Sergeant Andy Griffin of the DPS said: "There is no place for dishonesty within the Metropolitan Police Service, and those who breach either the law or the standards expected of officers or police staff will be brought to account.
"During the investigation we also uncovered that Milton had disgusting images of children being abused.
“Demand for these repugnant images fuels abuse and he has rightly been further imprisoned for this offence."
