Domestic abuse, sex attacks, and weapons offences are among the cases affected by a data breach at South Yorkshire Police, an ITV Calendar investigation has revealed.
In August, the force said it had digital forensics experts working “urgently” to try and recover body-worn camera footage recorded over three years, which had been lost.
Now, after a request by ITV under the Freedom of Information Act, South Yorkshire Police has told ITV Calendar that 86 criminal cases and three civil matters are known to be affected. Only two of them have so far been resolved in the courts.
