Police papers left in taxi
CASE documents belonging to the Independent Police Complaints
Commission (IPCC) have gone missing after they were left in the back of
a taxi, the organisation said yesterday.
A “few pages relating to one case” went missing along with administrative
paperwork after an official left them behind accidentally, a spokesman
said.
It follows a series of breaches of personal information security, including
HM Revenue and Customs’s loss of 25 million child benefit claimants’
details in the post.
The IPCC said the paperwork was not of a sensitive nature. Spokesman
Richard Offer said: “The papers contained a range of mostly
administrative paper work.”
He said every effort was being made to retrieve the paperwork.
