A Hampshire Constabulary detective constable (DC) is to appear in court, following an Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) investigation.

DC Robert Ferrow is charged with making a false instrument with intent for it to be accepted as genuine, under the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981.

It is alleged DC Ferrow completed and signed the statement of a witness during the investigation into the murder of Lucy-Anne Rushton.

DC Ferrow will appear at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on 18 December.

Our investigation began in August 2019 and was completed in July 2020. At the investigation’s conclusion, we referred a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which made the decision to charge the officer.
