A police officer has appeared in court charged with driving police vehicles while disqualified.

Police Constable Miles Caffull, a 26-year-old response officer based in Gloucester, appeared before Worcester Magistrates' Court charged with three counts of driving while disqualified and three counts of using a motor vehicle without third party insurance.

The court heard the charges cover the period from May 26 to June 16 2023 and include the use of Gloucestershire Police vehicles while on duty.

It is alleged that Caffull was disqualified from driving in May 2023, after receiving 12 points on his licence for speeding offences, but had not disclosed these to the force.

The defendant, of Saxon Way, Ledbury, Herefordshire spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address during the hearing.

He was not asked to enter pleas to the six charges he faces.

Justices of the Peace adjourned the hearing until January 15 2024 before a district judge at Kidderminster Magistrates' Court.
