A police officer carrying out a search of a woman’s bedroom snatched something that wasn’t exactly evidence.

PC Marcin Zielinski can be seen rifling through a woman’s underwear drawer on a secret camera hidden behind some children’s toys.

Unaware he is being filmed Zielenski, 47, looks away before going back in to the drawer, scrunching up a pink pair of panties and shoving them in his back pocket. He then sharply exits the room.

Zielinski resigned from the force while under investigation in November 2024.

A woman living at the address had been arrested in connection with an unrelated matter and was later released with no further action taken.

A spokesperson for Hertfordshire Constabulary said the force was ‘appalled’ by his actions, adding that Zielinski had already been suspended and would now face misconduct proceedings.

They said: ‘This behaviour is a gross breach of trust and falls far below the standards expected of a serving officer. His conviction and sentence reflect the seriousness of the offence.’

The victim is being supported by specialist officers.
