Four incidents removed from our client’s Police National Computer record.

  • Posted on

Saunders Law was instructed to make record deletion applications on behalf of our client to two separate police forces. Our client had the following incidents on his record:

  1. Caution issued in 2011 for possession of a Class B drug,
  2. Caution issued in 2008 for being drunk and disorderly,
  3. Caution issued in 2010 for being in possession of a Class B controlled drug,
  4. Arrest and ‘No Further Action’ Record in 2010 for being concerned in the supply of a Class A drug.

Saunders Law took our client’s full instructions and requested all relevant documents from two separate police forces. We drafted two applications under the following grounds: No Crime and Public Interest.

No Crime

In relation to the No further Action in 2010 for being concerned in supplying a controlled drug of Class A, which was MDMA. We submitted that the NFA should now be removed under the ground of ‘No Crime’. There was no evidence to suggest the client was ever in possession of, or supplying, MDMA. The substance seized from him was tested, and the rest result was negative for MDMA.

Public Interest

We also made submissions that all four incidents should be removed under the grounds of ‘Public Interest’.

We made the following submissions:

  • Our client was young and naïve at the time of the incidents
  • It has been at least 15 years since the last incident on his record
  • Our client acted out of character due to stresses in his life at the time
  • Our client resides outside of the UK
  • The incidents were restricting our client’s ability to travel.
  • The incidents were preventing our client from progressing in his career.
  • The incidents have led to our client missing several personal events due to not being able to travel,
  • The incidents were having a negative impact on our client’s mental health, and
  • Our client is of good character

The case was conducted by solicitor Amber Richardson, supervised by Ali Parker.

Both applications were submitted in September 2026 and both successful outcomes were received in October 2026. Our client now has a clear PNC record and is able to move on with his life.
