Domestic Corruption Unit make three arrests

Over the last year the City of London Police (CoLP)’s Domestic Corruption Unit (DCU) have undertaken a significant investigation into allegations of fraud by abuse of position contrary to Section 4 of the Fraud Act (2006) in relation to the national Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW).

On Wednesday morning, 4 March 2026, DCU officers executed Schedule 1 Pace 1984 search warrants in Wales, Somerset, London and Surrey to arrest suspects and gather evidence.

To support a targeted, open and transparent witness appeal, a Major Incident Public Portal (MIPP) has been opened under Operation Kuat.

Detective Superintendent James Halkett, of the City of London Police Domestic Corruption Unit, said:

“The City of London Police Domestic Corruption Unit are leading a criminal investigation into allegations of fraud made against three individuals connected to the national Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW).

“A 46-year-old man from Surrey, a 51-year-old man from Wales and a 55-year-old man from Bristol were all arrested on suspicion of fraud by abuse of position.

“They have been interviewed and released on conditional bail pending further enquiries.”

D/Supt Halkett added “This is a complex and active investigation in which we are pursuing all lines of enquiry, and I would ask that anyone with further information related to our enquiries contact us via our major incident Public Portal".
