Special commendation award for Thame police officer

A police officer from Thame today received a special Commendation from the Chief Constable of Thames Valley Police.
Det Sgt Anthony Collingwood was commended for the commitment and professionalism he displayed during the investigation into an attempted murder of a man who was shot twice at close range in High Wycombe in June 2005.

The motive for this serious assault related to the supply of illicit Class A drugs. The investigation, which was described as “lengthy, complex and arduous,” resulted in both defendants receiving life sentences.

Det Sgt Collingwood was more recently involved in the enquiry into the murder 92 year-old Thea Zoudy, whose burnt remains were found in a field near Thame.
