    The officer in charge, Cressida Dick, was given a slap on the wrist. She was later appointed head of Scotland Yard, where she was a signal failure. The Mayor of London, fed up with her equivocations on malfeasance, corruption and abuses in her force, pushed her out, and was criticized for this by the chief Inspector of constabulary.
