Redcar MP Anna Turley says AI images being shared purporting to be of the two deceased officers “are not genuine”
Some more now from local MP Anna Turley, who we also referenced in our previous post:
MP Anna Turley says there are “no words” for the heartbreak of the families, friends and loves ones of those that died in the A66 crash.
“This morning I went down to South Bank to lay flowers and pay my respects, on behalf of our whole community, to the seven people whose lives were so tragically cut short yesterday,” the Labour Home Office minister writes on Facebook on Sunday morning.
She says officers Matthew Blades and Tom Clough were “serving our community and should have come home from their shifts”.
Turley adds that Cleveland Police Chief Constable Victoria Fuller has asked her to urge the public not to share AI-generated images claiming to show the two officers that have died.
“These images are not genuine,” she adds.
“Please, out of respect for the officers, their families and everyone affected, do not share images or information about this tragedy unless it has come from an official source such as Cleveland Police.”
