Two South Wales Police officers have been found to have no case to answer after a complaint about them was investigated by an external police force.
The force has confirmed that a complaint against the two serving South Wales Police officers has been investigated and that the probe concluded last month.
The complaint was initially referred to the Independent Office For Police Conduct by South Wales Police. However, the IOPC “returned” the matter to the south Wales force for it to be investigated locally.
South Wales Police said that, to make sure the allegations, the nature of which have not been disclosed, were investigated independently, they were looked into by an external force.
