A former Metropolitan Police officer has been accused of defrauding luxury brands by falsely claiming that expensive online purchases never arrived. Sunna Harrison-Aziz, 28, allegedly obtained items from Christian Dior, Cartier, Moncler, and Apple through fake non-delivery claims, according to The Telegraph.
Details of the Alleged Fraud
The products mentioned in court include a £700 Dior bikini, a Cartier wedding band worth nearly £2,000, an £840 Moncler jacket, and a £2,599 Apple MacBook purchased from Currys. Prosecutors allege that Harrison-Aziz improperly accessed police systems between January and September 2022 while carrying out the fraud.
Charges and Investigation
Harrison-Aziz has been charged with multiple offenses, including fraud, misuse of police powers, and attempting to interfere with the investigation. The court heard that she allegedly hid her mobile phone from investigators, falsely claiming it was broken and lost, before later destroying it after police searched her home.
The investigation was conducted by the Met’s Anti-Corruption and Abuse Command under the supervision of the Independent Office for Police Conduct. Harrison-Aziz, from Croydon in south London, has denied all charges.
Court Proceedings
She appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court alongside Edgar Morais, who is accused of encouraging misuse of police powers. Another defendant, Eugene Nunoo, did not attend the hearing due to train cancellations. District Judge Daniel Sternberg rejected a request from Harrison-Aziz’s lawyer to stop the media from identifying her, citing concerns about her mental health and anxiety over publicity.
The case will next be heard at Southwark Crown Court on June 2. Harrison-Aziz remains on unconditional bail.
