Police intelligence analyst charged in anti-corruption probe linked to Encrochat
The analyst was on secondment at the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit
Updated
A police intelligence analyst is being probed for anti-corruption relating to the penetrated secret criminal Encrochat network.
Natalie Mottram, a Cheshire Police employee, was on secondment at the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU) when the investigation began in June, last year. It is alleged the Warrington 22-year-old, with others, disclosed information that law enforcement could access encrypted EncroChat data as the European-wide Operation Venetic was underway. Mottram has now been charged with four counts of unauthorised access to computer material and one count of perverting the course of justice.
A prison catering manager who had an affair with an inmate and smuggled drugs hidden inside her bra has been jailed for 30 months.
Single mother-of-one Annette Causey, 34, sneaked in cannabis and tobacco inside her bra in exchange for cash after she got involved with 31-year old convicted armed robber Jamie Ellis at Category C Hindley jail in Wigan, Greater Manchester.
The pair swapped explicit love letters and text messages during their illicit romance and had sexual contact twice a day in the prison.
They would kiss and cuddle inside storerooms and fridges and she performed sex acts on the career criminal five times. She had given him her phone number so he could use his contraband mobile phone to send her sexts about lurid encounters they had or were planning to have.
