Overview
- PC David Fyfe was captured on CCTV in uniform selecting a sandwich at a Pret in Wood Green on April 9 and walking out without paying.
- A Pret employee saw him get into the passenger seat of a police car and leave, and staff later reported the incident leading to identification from footage.
- Interviewed under caution on May 1, he admitted not paying but denied theft, calling it an oversight and a “brain fart” linked to lack of sleep.
- A February 13 misconduct panel ruled the conduct intentional and “reprehensible,” found no evidence of impairment, and said dismissal would have been justified.
- He left the Metropolitan Police and has been added to the College of Policing barred list, while the Met declined a CPS referral given the £2.25 cost.
