A Metropolitan Police officer has been sacked after repeatedly driving to work without a valid licence or motor insurance.

PC Dcosta’s Shocking Repeat Offence

PC Dcosta was first caught in April 2025 driving without a proper licence or insurance. He was warned firmly and told of the serious consequences if he broke the rules again.

But just a month later, in May 2025, the officer was spotted committing the same offences. He was reported and hit with a Single Justice Procedure Notice for driving unlawfully without third-party insurance.
On 13 February, PC Dcosta was dismissed without notice and will be added to the Public Barred List held by the College of Policing.
