A police detective who pretended to work from home and spent hours browsing online shopping sites while on duty has been fired.
Det Con Philippa Baskwill weighed down her keyboard so her computer would not go into standby mode, giving the impression she was working when she was not.
The Avon and Somerset Police officer was caught when data showed her keystrokes had increased by 19 million in one year.
She was found guilty of gross misconduct and dismissed without notice at a hearing chaired by Chief Constable Sarah Crew earlier.
Supt Larisa Hunt, head of the force's professional standards department, said: "Staff are dealing with immense pressure and high workloads so it's extremely disappointing for an officer to act in this deliberate and deceitful way.
"She has let down the public primarily, but also her colleagues too."
