The officer, who lives in Harlow in Essex, is due to appear at Westminster magistrates court in central London later today to face the allegation for the first time.
It is alleged PC Carter “wilfully and without reasonable excuse or justification misconducted yourself in a way which amounted to an abuse of the public’s trust in the office holder by stealing cash from a deceased male who has passed away in the street”.
Carter, who works for the Met’s North Area Command Unit which covers Enfield and Haringey, has been suspended from duty.
Scotland Yard said: “A serving police officer has been charged with misconduct in public office.
“PC Craig Carter, who is attached to the North Area Command Unit, was charged via postal charge requisition.
“He will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 28 June.
“The charge relates to the alleged theft of money from a man who died following a collapse in September 2022.
“Following the charge, PC Carter was suspended from duty.”
He was charged by postal requisition, which means he was not arrested.
He will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
