Bedfordshire Police says it "will not tolerate any type of discrimination" after it was announced that 15 officers and staff were being investigated in a racism case.

Deputy chief constable Mike Colbourne made the comments after the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it was widening its probe into the case of former officer, Harmit Bahra , who won a £200,000 payout for suffering racial discrimination. 

He said: "We celebrate diversity at Bedfordshire Police and are committed to building a workforce which is more reflective of the communities we serve."

The Bedfordshire village that was home to a couple killed in a helicopter crash in Snowdonia has been left stunned by the deaths, according to a local councillor.

Kevin and Ruth Burke from Hulcote, near Milton Keynes, have been named locally as two of the five members of the same family who died in the crash on Wednesday.

Efforts to recover their bodies and the aircraft wreckage from the Rhinog Mountains have been hampered by both the weather and the remote location.

Richard Mann, who is a councillor in the Burkes' home village, described the sombre mood in the community.

Recovery of the bodies of five family members killed in a helicopter crash in north Wales continues today. 

Poor weather and the remote and "challenging" terrain at the Rhinog Mountains in Snowdonia have hampered recovery efforts, police have said.

Two of those on board have been named locally as Kevin and Ruth Burke from Hulcote, near Milton Keynes, who were travelling to a christening in Dublin.

A search began on Wednesday when the aircraft vanished over Caernarfon Bay.

Ch Insp Richard Green said conditions were treacherous and challenging for recovery teams.
