A PCSO who works in Leeds looks set to stand trial over alleged false reports into the theft of a vehicle.

Fiona Price, 33, who works for West Yorkshire Police, has been jointly charged alongside Darren Price, 36, with perverting the course of justice. They both appeared at Bradford Magistrates’ Court this week.

The case relates to Fiona Price’s car being reported stolen in August of last year.

The charge is an indictable-only offence, meaning it cannot be dealt with by the magistrates’ court, with District Judge Richard Clews immediately committing the case to Bradford Crown Court.

Meanwhile, police have confirmed that Fiona Price has been suspended from duty.
