A police officer has been charged with offences concerning possession of nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas.
Greater Manchester Police PC Omair Shah is also alleged to have conspired with a relative over a false alibi statement during an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) watchdog.
The offences are alleged to have occurred between January and March 2024 and the charges follow the IOPC probe conducted by GMP’s anti-corruption unit.
The 25-year-old is due to appear at Liverpool and Knowsley Magistrates Court on Friday charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and possession of nitrous oxide for wrongful inhalation.
