A FORMER detective constable would have been sacked for using ‘key jamming’ to skive if he hadn't already retired.

Niall Thubron, formerly of Durham Constabulary, had been working on investigations into serious crime on the “High Harm Investigation Team’.

A misconduct hearing heard how he used “key jamming” - repeatedly fixing one character on the keyboard to make it look like his computer was in use and he was working from home - 38 times on 12 different days between December 3, 2024 and January 13, 2025.
