Former West Yorkshire Police employee charged with perverting the course of justice

Kasey Howarth, who previously worked for West Yorkshire Police, has been charged with one count of perverting the course of justice.

The 43-year-old, of Leeds, is alleged to have falsely claimed to be the driver of a Ford Transit van at the time it was caught speeding.

The charge comes after an investigation by West Yorkshire Police’s Counter Corruption Unit, directed by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).

She is due to appear at Leeds Crown Court on Wednesday (Sep 10).
