A WOMAN police officer who stripped off for a a men’s magazine is being investigated by her bosses.
The photos of Pc Rachelle Pantoja, who serves with Greater Manchester Police, appear in this week’s edition of Zoo Magazine - under the headline Real Copper Strips.
In a saucy double-page spread, the officer is described as having been “only too pleased to show Zoo her particulars”.
She is shown stripping down from a police-style uniform to skimpy underwear, revealing a scorpion tattoo on her stomach.
A police spokesman said: “After the force was informed about the photographs, she was placed on restricted duties away from direct contact with the public and an investigation was launched by the internal affairs department.” A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: She has currently been seconded to the Traffic Division.
In the article accompanying the saucy snaps, Zoo magazine admits the officer has risked the wrath of her superiors by fulfilling her “dream” of stripping for the men’s weekly.
Pc Pantoja reportedly told the magazine: "I don’t care what my bosses say.
"I was nervous, but the Zoo shoot was great fun, I really enjoyed it.
"I love being in front of the camera, and my ambition is to do more modelling.
“Nobody in the force knows about my modelling past, so this is my dark, dirty secret.”
The article goes on to say Rachelle plans to get silicone implants in July, in a bid to have breasts like lads’ mag favourite Lucy Pinder.
