Cop who stole sample named

An off-duty police officer who changed into his uniform to steal his own evidential blood samples and pour them down his home toilet may now be named. Bo Wang admitted trying to pervert the course of justice, driving while forbidden and burglary at the Auckland Harbour Bridge Patrol Base.

The 33-year-old constable’s lawyer, Todd Simmonds, confirmed to Stuff yesterday that Wang would not be filing a further appeal for continued suppression. The incident had been reported to the Independent Police Conduct Authority. Wang will be sentenced next month.
