Police worker who snorted cocaine in her office quits

A police worker resigned after being caught on film snorting cocaine in her office, it emerged yesterday.

Lyndsey Dinning, 31, quit her job in the fingerprint department of Greater Manchester Police after an undercover operation.

A camera was placed in her office following a tip-off and she was arrested last December after being caught in the act.

The former laboratory officer tested positive for cocaine and resigned from her job.

Dinning, of Marleyer Close, Moston, pleaded guilty to possession of Class A drugs at Warrington Crown Court on April 27.

She also admitted misuse of a computer, after she accessed information about friends and family from a police data-

base.

Dinning was sentenced to 130 hours unpaid work, police said.

The judge ruled that a third charge of misconduct in public office should lie on file.
