Met PC caught making 'appalling' remarks sacked

PC Charlie Cano, a Metropolitan Police officer stationed at Charing Cross police station, has been sacked after an accelerated misconduct hearing found he made inappropriate, discriminatory remarks about women and boasted about using force against a teenage female detainee, as captured in an undercover BBC Panorama investigation in October 2025. He is the 10th officer to be found guilty of gross misconduct from the probe, with the Met confirming an ongoing Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) investigation into multiple officers at the station and ongoing efforts to improve force standards and culture.
