A serving Met Police officer is due in court charged with three counts of voyeurism - following allegations from when he was both on and off-duty.

Detective Sergeant Steven Colclough, attached to the force’s Specialist Operations, was arrested on May 27, 2021, after the allegations were made against him.

A Met Police spokesperson said: “The allegations relate to incidents that took place between April 2017 and April 2021, when DS Colclough was both on and off-duty.”
