A collection of photographs show the glamorous party life led by two married police constables after they made almost £400,000 selling details of car crash victims.

PC Nigel Mungur, 40, was seen frolicking around with a police helmet, a Mexican sombrero and posing with WPC wife Nicola, 37, on holiday.

Other images show his red Porsche and smiling on a beach as the pair enjoyed trips around the world.

But behind the exotic holidays, sports cars and champagne lifestyle, Mungur was running a seven year scam at work.

He would log onto the police computer to obtain details of casualties involved in road accidents and then sell them to ambulance chasing claims firms.

Details emerged at Chester Crown Court on Friday where Mungur, from Liverpool, was jailed for five years.

He admitted misconduct in public office, conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office, money laundering and unauthorised access to a computer between March 31, 2007 and April 30, 2014.

His wife admitted obtaining personal date an offence under The Data Protection Act and was conditionally discharged for 12 months.

Mungur used the alter ego 'Leroy' and posted a string of fancy dress photographs on his social media page.

After getting hold of the data, he would sell it onto 'no win-no fee' claims management companies so they could cold call the parties and offer to get them compensation.

Prosecutors said Mungur pocketed over £50,000 a year accessing personal and confidential data on 21,802 occasions and even set up his own firm called the Personal Injury Company to sell his leads on.

When the company licence was revoked in early 2009, he simply applied to set up another, paying the registration fee with a cheque signed by his wife to avoid the application being rejected.

But police began unravelling the scam in 2014 after people complained they were getting calls from law firms when they had not given their details to anyone other than the police.

The Mungurs, both former Lancashire Police officers, were involved in a scam in which crash victims details were sold to claims firms

One man involved in a collision complained of being contacted by a claims firm before a police officer had even arrived at his home to take a statement.

It is thought the father-of-three made £363,000 from the racket. Both he and his wife who worked for Lancashire Police, in Preston and Chorley were later sacked by the force.

Meanwhile, an associate of the couple John Helton, 37, also from Liverpool, was sentenced to two years in prison suspended for two years and ordered to carry out 300 hours of unpaid work for his role in the scam.

He admitted conspiracy to convert criminal property and conspiracy to commit unauthorised access to a computer.

After the case Richard Riley, a senior prosecutor from the CPS, said: 'Nigel Mungur's greed led him to take the leading role in stealing confidential information held on a police database and sell it for profit.

'Nicola Mungur was clearly aware of her husband's crimes and encouraged, connived and acquiesced in them by turning a blind eye and the pair reaped the financial rewards.

'The public expect a high standard of behaviour from the police but the Mungurs' conduct fell short of their duty and now they are paying the price.'

The court heard during the scam Mungur teamed up with businessman Helton a contractor for a claims firm who was paid on the basis of cases he referred to the firm.

Mungur would pass the personal data onto Helton and he would sell it to the firm. The pair would then share the money paid out.

At the time of the sacking Supt Sam Mackenzie, Head of Professional Standards at Lancashire Constabulary, said: 'I am always very disappointed to discover conduct such as this within Lancashire Constabulary, it undermines the great work the vast majority of our staff and officers do on a day to day basis.

'There is no place for conduct of this type within the police and we are committed to dealing with such matters whenever and wherever they arise.

'I apologise on behalf of Lancashire Constabulary for this failure to meet the standards that we and the public quite rightly expect from our police officers.'
