PC Mel Ryder didn’t want to drop her colleague PC Arun Ghir into trouble, but Sgt Smithy overheard her.
With two illegal immigrants missing in a lorry’s trailer, Mel couldn’t believe Arun phoned their friend Louise, to tip her off with the trailer’s location. Ghir wanted Louise to fetch her friends to safety before the police did.
Ghir lied and hid evidence to disguise what he had done. Mel knew something was wrong by Louise’s reactions: she was no-longer anxious about her friends’ safety – Examining Louise’s mobile, Mel also saw that Ghir had phoned her the same time he found out where the trailer had been dumped.
Ghir had no choice but to admit what he’d done. Smithy suspended him from duty, pending an internal investigation.
