Off-duty police officers admit dangerous driving

Three Sussex Police officers have received suspended sentences after pleading guilty to dangerous driving.

Two of them suffered multiple injuries when their motorbikes crashed into a Ford Fiesta in Chilgrove, West Sussex, in July 2020.

The Fiesta driver, an 80-year-old man from Chichester, and his female passenger had minor injuries.

The officers, who were not on duty, were sentenced to nine months in jail, suspended for 18 months.

James Latter and Alan Harris, both 31, and Ahmet Yapicioz, 55, were sentenced at Portsmouth Crown Court on Friday.

They were also disqualified from driving for 18 months.
