UNDERCOVER COPS
Love bomb
ITV’s recent documentary series on undercover police who deceived women into sexual relationships,
The Undercover Police Scandal: Love and Lies Exposed
, has caused a huge stir.
One of the officers featured was former undercover operative Bob Lambert, who had relationships with four women and fathered a son with one. Now, an even more alarming story has emerged about allegations of a criminal act by Lambert while he was undercover.
A series of witnesses have alleged in sworn testimony to Sir John Mitting’s Undercover Policing Inquiry that Lambert was the person who planted a firebomb at a Debenham’s department store in Harrow in July 1987. It was part of an Animal Liberation Front campaign to target stores selling fur which caused more than £9m in damage.
