  10. PC says there were 'inconsistencies' in report

    Giles Taylor

    BBC East Midlands Today reporter

    PC Mortimer says when he visited Mr Newman he "seemed fine and alert" and his car was parked safely in the garage so he later closed the incident. 

    He said he remembers calling the bank to follow up their initial report, but accepts their logs don't back this up. 

    PC Mortimer said there were also inconsistencies in the incident log he was sent from the call handler, including Mr Newman's number plate which had been incorrectly entered.

    Giles Taylor

    BBC East Midlands Today reporter

    He said he was sent the incident to deal with but was called away to another emergency before he could investigate.

    When he later followed it up, he admits he scanned the first two pages of the log, and didn't see any reference to Albert Newman's disqualification or a reported accident.

    He said he took this to mean that he was only to check Mr Newman was safe and healthy.
