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.
The fight occurred in the street outside The Hawthorne pub on Orford Lane, Warrington. A FLINTSHIRE man who threw away his shirt mid-fight and brandished a tyre wrench has been spared an immediate prison sentence following a successful appeal. Bernie Sweeney was involved in a heated altercation with a family member in the middle of the street outside The Hawthorne pub on Orford Lane, Warrington. The pair had to be separated by onlookers and police were forced to use incapacitant spray to bring the fight to a close. The 30-year-old was originally handed a six-month spell in prison at Warrington Magistrates’ Court on March 5 after pleading guilty to charges of possession of an offensive weapon and threatening behaviour.
