One of the few strictly Orthodox police officers in the UK has been charged with the improper use of the Police National Computer (PNC) and placed on restricted duties until a court appearance later this month.
PC Ephraim Chalk, 31, a police officer in Barnet, was charged by postal requisition.
In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said the charge “followed an alleged incident on March 21 during which the officer accessed the police system for a personal matter rather than a policing purpose.
“The officer will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday, 27 September.”
