Two senior police officers facing trial on criminal charges failed in an attempt to overturn a decision to make their addresses public.

Chief Superintendent Adrian Harper, Divisional Commander for East Surrey, and Superintendent Jonathan Johncox, of the West Surrey division, each sought an order to banning the media from reporting their addresses.

Aldershot magistrates refused to pass the order, made in August last year as the pair appeared on misconduct charges relating to alleged speeding offences.
