The police have declined to comment

The PSNI has refused to answer questions regarding allegations a senior officer removed a vacuum cleaner from a police station before trying to implicate lower ranking personnel in the incident.

Concerned by the situation, another senior officer set out to establish what had occurred, issuing emails to all staff making them aware of the missing device. The officer alleged to have taken the hoover would later deny knowledge of these emails, despite being specifically copied into them, sources say.

It was also the area in which the investigating officer and his team were housed, leaving them upset by the implication that one of them was responsible. Notably, the dust bag had been removed. Documentation shows prolonged efforts by several individuals to have the situation addressed to what they say is the appropriate level, but it appears nothing was done. This, sources say, has lead to discontent among lower ranking officers.
