Two more Metropolitan Police officers have been dismissed after making comments that glorified the use of force against detainees at Charing Cross police station in central London.

PCs Kheava Gould-Ryan and Fernando Santos Dos Santos were sacked without notice following misconduct hearings this week, the force said.

They are the latest officers to lose their jobs following evidence gathered during an undercover BBC Panorama investigation. The Met said 10 officers had been dismissed as a result.

Although neither appeared in the programme broadcast in October, the Met said unaired footage was shared with the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), prompting further investigations.

A hearing found Gould-Ryan had made comments that trivialised the use of force on detainees and condoned unreasonable force.

He was also heard saying it would be "funny" to see a juvenile sprayed the incapacitant Pava while in custody.

Secret filming by Panorama reveals evidence of racism, misogyny and officers revelling in the use of force at one of London’s busiest police stations, Charing Cross.

Dos Santos was found to have made derogatory comments about a victim he had dealt with and about members of the public experiencing a mental health crisis.

He also glorified shouting and swearing at members of the public and the use of force, saying: "You can always justify it."

The hearing was told Dos Santos also praised a colleague's use of force against a detainee, saying he "just wanted to laugh".

In April, PC Charlie Cano became the eighth officer dismissed as part of the investigation.

A misconduct hearing found he took part in inappropriate and discriminatory conversations about female members of the public and boasted about using force against a young female detainee.

His conduct also came to light after the unaired footage from the Panorama investigation was shared with the IOPC.

Cdr Simon Messinger of the Met Police said: "It was important all the footage taken by the BBC was examined to identify any misconduct not shown on the programme.

"That enabled us to swiftly suspend and now hold to account these two officers for their appalling and inappropriate comments.

"Ten serving officers have now been dismissed for their unacceptable conduct at Charing Cross and we continue to support the ongoing IOPC investigation."

He added: "Our own work continues at pace to raise standards and address the cultural issues in the Met that created an environment where these awful views could be seen as acceptable behaviour."

Both officers were found to have breached standards of professional behaviour relating to authority, respect and courtesy, and discreditable conduct.

They will be added to the College of Policing's barred list, preventing them from rejoining policing or working for a number of police-related organisations.
