“TWO lesbian police officers crashed their car during a lovers’ tiff before lying to insurers over who was driving in order to save £250, a court has heard. During an argument, Pc Charlotte Eccles, 23, drove into a kerb and caused £6,000 worth of damage. But Pc Diane Reeves-Emery, 38, decided to take the blame. She paid £250 excess on her insurance, compared with the £500 Miss Eccles would have had to pay. The couple later broke up and Miss Eccles told police what had happened. Miss Eccles, of Swadlincote, Derbyshire, said she felt threatened by the ‘control’ her lover exercised over her. She told police she was ‘under the influence’ of Miss Reeves-Emery, of Burton-on-Trent, Staffs, and felt she had to go along with the plan. The pair, who work for the Derbyshire force, both deny a charge of obtaining financial advantage by deception. The trial continues.”
