Det Supt Marco Bardetti, from North Area, said the evidence against Carter “could not be denied”.
“In September 2022, PC Carter was responsible for looking after a man who had sadly died in the street, as well as taking responsibility for his personal possessions,” he added.
“A family, struggling to come to terms with the death of a loved one, should not be put in a position where they have to make a complaint against an officer, suspecting that they have taken money.
“The Met is not an organisation that will tolerate such behaviour.”
