A New Zealand police recruit had a hand in his own downfall for an unsolved assault.
During a fingerprinting training exercise at the Royal New Zealand Police College, the recruit gave his prints ? which promptly matched him to an arrest warrant for a serious assault, Wellington?s Dominion Post newspaper reported.
He will appear in court later this week.
Training commander, Superintendent Alistair Beckett, said the recruit, whose name was not reported, had managed to slip through rigorous screening of potential recruits.
?By and large, the people we get are top of the line, top drawer. They normally don?t have things from the past they want to hide,? he said.
But the police are not taking any chances that others might try to fool the system. Starting from October, all recruit applicants will be fingerprinted before they are given training.
