The judge at Wood Green Crown Court told Craig Carter from Harlow in Essex there would be a significant impact on his career - 'you threw all of that away - you let down your force, you let down your community'.
A former Metropolitan Police officer has been jailed for 16 months after he admitted stealing money from a man who died after collapsing. Craig Carter took the money - £115 - from a wallet that had belonged to Claudio Gaetani between 7 and 14 September 2022. The 51-year-old, from Harlow, Essex, admitted the stolen cash had been 'received by him in evidence'. He pleaded guilty to misconduct in public office at Wood Green Crown Court in north London in July.
Tetteh Turkson, of the Crown Prosecution Service, previously said: 'The vast majority of police officers are viewed by members of the public as trustworthy, responsible and upstanding members of our society. Craig Carter fell woefully short of these expectations. 'The fact Carter thought he could freely steal from a victim who had sadly passed away is not only disturbing, but deeply disrespectful to the victim's family. Our thoughts remain with them at this time.
