A former Surrey Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) will be appearing in court this week charged with multiple offences, following an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

Ex-PCSO Olivia Morphew, aged 24, who was based in Elmbridge, will appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on September 11 to face charges of perverting the course of justice, fraud and possession of a knife in a public place.

The charges follow an investigation into an incident in Esher, where PCSO Morphew reported being stabbed in an attack in June 2022. It is alleged that PCSO Morphew stabbed herself and subsequently submitted a compensation claim for her injuries.

An IOPC spokesperson said: “Our investigation began following a conduct referral from the force in July 2022.
