Saunders Law succeed in removing five recent police incidents from client’s PNC record
Saunders Law succeed in removing five recent police incidents from a client’s PNC record.
Saunders Law was instructed to make a record deletion application on behalf of our client to remove several incidents from her record. Our client’s record showed the following incidents, all of which happened in late 2024:
a) Simple Caution for destroy or damage property (value of damage £5,000 or less) contrary to section 1 of the Criminal Damage Act 1971.
b) Simple Caution for destroy or damage property (value of damage £5,000 or less) contrary to section 1 of the Criminal Damage Act 1971.
c) NFA for Assault occasioning Actual Bodily Harm contrary to section 47 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.
d) NFA for Assault occasioning Actual Bodily Harm contrary to section 47 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.
e) NFA for Affray contrary to section 3 of the Public Order Act 1986
After two years, our client was being impacted significantly due to the attached incidents on her record. After reviewing the documentation received from both the police and ACRO, Saunders Law made an application for record deletion under the following grounds: “No Crime” and “Public Interest”.
Under the Deletion Ground of “No Crime”, we made the following submissions:
- At the time of the incidents, she was in a toxic relationship and was a victim of serious crimes.
- All the incidents which resulted in an NFA, we are as a result of self-defence. As she had a reasonable defence, no crime was committed by our client.
- Injuries caused to the alleged victim in the matter were not as a result of our client’s actions.
- There was no evidence that an assault occasioning to Actual Bodily Harm or an affray were committed and they should therefore be deleted from her record.
Under the ground of “Public Interest”, we made the following submissions:
- At the time of the incidents, she was in a toxic relationship and was a victim of serious crimes.
- She was just 20 years old at the time of the incidents.
- The cautions and NFA were impacting her visa status and ability to remain studying in the UK.
- The allegations had been false and malicious.
- She is of good character.
- The cautions and NFA records were ruining her future.
Saunders Law made the application in January 2026. We received the successful outcome in August 2026. The case was conducted by solicitor Amber Richardson, supervised by Ali Parker.
