Overview

  • Suffolk Police confirmed a £3,500 compensation payment after its Professional Standards Department found conduct during the search to be unacceptable and unprofessional.
  • The October 2023 raid on Nichola Corr’s north Essex home was linked to a drugs inquiry involving a family member and resulted in no arrests or charges.
  • Corr says bodycam footage shows officers tossing her lingerie and joking about a box of sex toys, while the force says the items were not touched.
  • Two serving officers were directed to undertake reflective practice and issue apologies, with the force citing immaturity rather than spite, and a third officer had already left.
  • Corr reports ongoing distress, says she is in counselling, and links the episode to her marriage breakdown, and she alleges an older officer told colleagues to switch off their bodycams.
