Stealing expensive cars is a very serious matter

A corrupt policewoman who helped a group of criminals steal a string of expensive cars has been jailed for two years.

Pc Hayley Cloud, 27, used her access to confidential police databases to alter the entries for stolen sports cars so that they could not be traced.

On one occasion she sent a fax to a police vehicle pound authorising a criminal associate to drive off with a £60,000 Lamborghini Gallardo.
