Adeel Ashraf and the arrest in Accrington A police officer charged with assaulting a car thief will face no further action after prosecutors ruled he used “reasonable, proportionate and necessary force”. Footage of the arrest of Adeel Ashraf which was shared on social media showed him being restrained by a number of officers at the scene in Accrington, on January 8 last year. An investigation from the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) followed which resulted in Pc Saul Hignett, 27, being charged last August with assault by beating of Mr Ashraf. In March 2020, Ashraf, 35, was jailed for 16 months after he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, aggravated vehicle-taking and driving without a licence and insurance.
