LONDON - British police sought a flatulent officer after a family complained that a policeman broke wind in their London home during a drugs raid and failed to apologise. „We can confirm that the department is investigating an incivility charge during the search of a home under the Misuse of Drugs act,“ a police spokesman told Reuters.

The Daily Mail newspaper printed a letter from Scotland Yard to the officers involved in the drugs raid informing them of the complaint. „An allegation has been received from a person in the house that one of the male officers broke wind and did not apologise to the family for his action…the complainant felt it was rude and unprofessional,“ the letter stated. Police did not confirm what discipline the officer might receive if found guilty of breaking wind.
