michael Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7597381.stm Police gun left in cafe's toilet A police firearms officer left a gun in the toilets of a coffee shop where it was found by a member of the public, the Metropolitan Police (Met) has said. The firearm was left in the toilets of a branch of Starbucks in Edgware Road in central London last Friday. The female officer concerned has now been removed from operational duties while an investigation is carried out. The pistol was eventually linked to her when police compared its serial number to those logged at a police armoury. A Met Police spokesman said: "A police-issue firearm was left unattended in a central London cafe on 29 August and was found by a member of the public. "The weapon belongs to a Metropolitan Police authorised firearms officer who was on duty at the time." An investigation is being carried out by the force's Directorate of Professional Standards.

jim_supra Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Ok, here goes.... What an idiot. It looks like her bosses are going to have to bite the bullet on this one and fire her. If she forgets something as important as her gun then she's obviously not of the right calibre for the Police. I'll get my coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Thing is, everyone has 'moments' just when you're carrying a gun it's more serious! I walked out of the toilets without my handbag when I was in London the other day. And I went to a course a few months ago (funnily enough in London again) and left the lovely bound notes that I'd been given by the lecturer in the Starbucks I went into. Maybe London does funny things to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She put the gun on the ground when she had a pee and forgot to pick it up again according to the lunchtime news. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
