Charges against NCA officers dismissed
Data Protection Act charges against Sheila Roberts, Brian Adair and Glyn Evans were dismissed at St Albans Crown Court on 16 May 2014.
NCA Deputy Director Martin Molloy, Head of Professional Standards, said: "The vast majority of law enforcement officers understand that they need the public’s trust to do their jobs properly. They also know this trust is hard won and quickly lost. The NCA will not tolerate anything short of the highest standards from its officers.
"Sheila Roberts and Brian Adair were suspended by SOCA in March 2013 and have not been serving officers since, either in SOCA or the NCA. An internal NCA investigation into matters unrelated to the DPA charges continues, and it would be inappropriate to comment further whilst that is ongoing."
Previous detail published on this case:
06 March 2014
Following their arrest on 13 March 2013 on suspicion of Misconduct in a Public Office, two NCA officers, Sheila Roberts and Brian Adair, both 47, along with another man, Glyn Evans, 53, of Essex, were charged on 5 Dec 2013 with offences under the Data Protection Act.
The charges under the DPA are currently before St Alban’s Crown Court. However on advice from the CPS, received on 4 March 2014, prosecutions in respect of the allegation of Misconduct in a Public Office have been withdrawn. The NCA officers remain suspended and internal discipline proceedings are pending. We are therefore unable to comment further at this time.
The NCA expects the highest standards of professionalism from all of its officers, and has a zero-tolerance approach to corruption.

The officers, who have been suspended from duty since March 2013, remain on bail for Misconduct in a Public Office. The NCA investigation, which is being supervised by the IPCC, is ongoing and we are therefore unable to comment further at this time.
