More than 130 officers and staff in Britain’s biggest police force, including two serial rapists, committed crimes or misconduct after they were not properly vetted, a review has found.
David Carrick, one of the UK’s worst sex offenders, and Cliff Mitchell, who carried out a “campaign of rape” on two victims over nine years, were among Metropolitan Police officers who were not properly checked.
The 131 cases were revealed as part of a vetting review that looked at the ten years up to the end of March 2023.
