Two male Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) officers have been sacked for taking videos and photos of 18 vulnerable people they had been sent to help.

In one video, a woman with learning difficulties was filmed in bed and asked about her sex life.

The two officers, identified as Officers A and B, had been tasked to her house in 2021 after a report of concern for her safety.
