Former PCSO facing jail for tipping off drug criminals

An ex-police community support officer has been told he faces jail after admitting supplying sensitive information to criminal gangs which helped them to steal and then sell cocaine.

Oguz Batmaz, 27, was part of the Mottingham and Chislehurst team in Bromley, south-east London, who tipped off criminals.

A two-day sentencing hearing for Batmaz, of Quilters Place, New Eltham, concludes on Friday.

Commander Allan Gibson of the Metropolitan Police and Conservative councillor Roger Charsley of Bromley Council comment on the case.
