A police constable who "tried it on" with four vulnerable domestic abuse victims has been dismissed for "appalling" gross misconduct. Married father-of-two PC Colin Noble, 50, had been a serving officer with West Midlands Police for 20 years. He inquired if one woman, who secretly recorded him because of her concerns about his behaviour, "had any nudes". The case against him was found proven by a disciplinary panel, following a hearing at the force's headquarters. PC Noble claimed he only called the complainant, known as Miss X, "fit" in an attempt at "boosting her confidence". He also looked at her breasts, asking to "see what you are working with". Audio of the conversations was played during the hearing, which heard evidence from the other complainants where he was alleged to have made a "catalogue of completely inappropriate comments" between 2014 and 2017. The panel said it "preferred the accounts" of Miss X, A, B and C over that given by the officer, who they found at times to be "inconsistent".
