Scotland Yard is hunting a prankster in their ranks who filled an iron with urine in the locker room of one of London’s biggest police stations.

The culprit filled an iron, used for officers’ uniforms while on-duty, with urine at the locker room in Charing Cross police station in central London.

Now the force is probing two offences of criminal damage after the grim discovery last weekend, The Sun reported.

The Met is investigating one count of criminal damage over the iron prank, which would have left officers’ uniforms stained with body waste, and another over damage to an unknown piece of police equipment.

...

The incident at the station, which has Europe’s largest custody centre, has caused a stir among rank-and-file officers.

One retired Met detective chief inspector, Mick Neville, dubbed the mystery culprit the “Slasher of the Yard”.

He told the paper: “This has no doubt caused quite a stink. A joke’s one thing – but this is taking the ‘you-know-what.’
