For the second time in two years, former police officer Beaudie Cullen has had charges against him dismissed with costs with the assistance of Paul McGirr solicitor.
The most recent charges alleged that Mr Cullen had lodged a fraudulent insurance claim in respect of a laptop and headphones valued at $1400, however Magistrate Covington ruled that Mr Cullen had no case to answer after police had failed to investigate a number of matters, including the possibility that Mr Cullen had more than one laptop or set of headphones.
The outcome follows an earlier set of charges against Mr Cullen related to storage of ammunition in 2016 which were also dismissed with costs, again owing to poor police investigations.
