A police officer accused of perverting the course of justice over a speeding ticket will have to wait for another three months to stand trial.
The case of Anthony Rees-Thompson, who has worked for South Wales Police for 10 years, opened at Cardiff Crown Court yesterday, but has been postponed and will start again on November 18.
The 40-year-old from Maes-y-Cribarth in Swansea denies perverting the course of justice in relation to a speeding offence that occurred on Fabian Way in Swansea in March last year.
Rees-Thompson worked in the covert operations unit at the force’s headquarters in Bridgend.
