A female police officer, who defrauded her insurance company over her missing BMW, has been ordered to wear an electronic tag to keep her indoors at night.
Maisey Jayne Edmonds, 25, of Park Avenue, Staines-upon-Thames, Surrey, had originally denied the allegation and returned to court for a trial.
However, she instead admitted one count of fraud by false representation and received a community order, which includes a ten-week tagged curfew between 9pm and 6am.
Edmonds was also ordered to pay £400 costs and an £85 victim surcharge.
She is based at Ealing Police Station, west London and after initially appearing at City of London Magistrates Court was bailed to attend a trial at Hendon Magistrates Court.
Edmonds was charged that on May 9, last year she stated to Diamond Insurance that she left the BMW locked and secure in Matlock Lane, Ealing and that it was stolen while she was in possession of the vehicle keys, with intent to make a financial gain for herself.
Prosecutor Mr. Trevor Green told City magistrates during that first hearing: “The defendant is a serving Metropolitan Police Officer at Ealing and the owner of a BMW insured since February, 2015.
“On May 8 the defendant reported to Diamond Insurance she parked the vehicle outside Ealing Police Station before duty and when she finished at 11.35pm the vehicle had been stolen.
“She retuned to Ealing Police Station and reported the matter.
‘The insurance company asked for both electric key fobs for the vehicle and the insurance company sent them to BMW for analysis and one didn’t belong to the vehicle.
“She said she had purchased a new key fob off eBay because the original one had broken.
“Believing the claim to be false the insurance company asked for £726 in investigation fees and she agreed to pay the costs.”
Her insurance claim did not proceed any further.
