A recent traffic stop in Tockwith, near Wetherby, has led to a regulatory probe involving two North Yorkshire Police officers. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has been called in after allegations emerged that a black man was struck and pepper-sprayed while being restrained during the incident on January 26.
The North Yorkshire Police voluntarily referred the matter to the IOPC, prompting a swift response from the watchdog. Both officers involved have been warned by the IOPC that they may face criminal charges as part of the ongoing investigation. One of the officers has been suspended while inquiries continue, with both facing allegations of gross misconduct.
