Former Pc is jailed for blackmail
Newport Crown Court
The court heard how the gang targeted two businessmen

A former police officer who admitted his part in bungled blackmail plots has been jailed for more than two years.

South Wales Police firearms expert Pc Ray Clark, 41, used a replica handgun to help a gang scare their victims out of more than £40,000.

But the scams backfired and Pc Clark was arrested by fellow officers before the gang collected any money.

A judge at Newport Crown Court also jailed two other men for seven years for their part in the blackmail plots.

Allan Coe, 45, and Anthony Holwell, 48, both of Newport, were jailed after their trial in which the former police officer gave evidence against them.

Mark Brogan, 37, of Newport, admitted conspiracy to blackmail. He was given a suspended 12-month sentence and ordered to do 250 hours community work.

Strange how these types of cases don't seem to attract the MSM TV News. If this had been a civilian, this would have been a major news story.

The most telling bit though was this...

The court heard he has recently participated in a video made by South Wales Police to warn new recruits about the dangers of becoming involved with criminals.

You couldn't make this up!!!!

What is it about the Welsh police that they cannot seem to be able to restrain themselves?

BBC NEWS | Wales | South East Wales | Student killed herself after rape

Another tragic case.

Looking at the Reported Crime Statistics, it seems to me that Wales has a particular preference to this sort of crime.

The support services for victims of sexual crime in Wales are sporadic and underfunded, and the competency and integrity of the law enforcement agencies, questionable.


(Extract)
A 20-year-old woman who killed herself nine months after she was raped blamed herself for the attack, an inquest has heard.
