A ‘glamorous’ Met Police officer has been removed from the service after police found narcotics, a cannabis farm and large stockpiles of cash at her London home.
PC Rasvinder Agalliu, a mother of two, was based at the Central West Command Unit but had to be dismissed on Tuesday, 1 November after several illegal items including class A drugs, drugs paraphernalia, a large amount of cash and a Metropolitan Police radio were found in her house, Met Police revealed in a statement.
The woman, who dreamt of being an actor was also arrested after being accused of narcotics conspiracy, but was later cleared of the charges.
Reports have also stated that the search was carried out by the Met officers on 25 June 2020 at Agalliu’s former residence. Additional items which were found at the location included a body armour, a set of handcuffs, items of uniform and a set of case papers and interview discs relating to her investigation of an offence. Several cannabis plants were also under cultivation at the address.
Agalliu is said to have joined the force at a young age of 17 and had been an officer for nearly two decades. She also worked as a fitness instructor, participated in several beauty pageants and desired to become an actress one day.
In her modelling profile, she mentions, “So just a little story about me. I have been a police officer for 17yrs get told your so Glamorous by colleagues to the point they make me feel I am should be doing more creative role.
“I am a type of woman who likes taking pride in my appearance and putting my face on every morning which really motivates me for the day.”
After the police seized the items from her house, a misconduct hearing concluded that she had breached the standards of professional behaviour.
The misconduct panel heard all of the evidence and came to the decision that Agalliu should be dismissed without notice.
Chief Superintendent Owain Richards of the Central West Command Unit said, “This officer’s actions were a gross breach of the trust afforded to them by the people of London.
“PC Agalliu has quite rightly been dismissed and there is no place in the Met for officers who behave in this way.
“We are determined to get rid of any officer who fails to meet our standards and ensure that they can never work in law enforcement again.”
Agalliu will be added to the Barred List held by the College of Policing, and cannot be employed in any of the police forces in the future.
