Deputy chief constable of North Wales Police Clive Wolfendale said: "This marks the conclusion of the internal investigation following "The Secret Policeman", though of course we continue our efforts within the organisation and with our communities to ensure that racism does not have a part in North Wales Police."

However, last month, the investigators probing racist comments made by ten police officers on the TV documentary said there was insufficient evidence for criminal proceedings to be brought against the majority of officers involved.

But the spokeswoman confirmed two officers from the North Wales force and Greater Manchester Police were still being investigated.

The total number of resignations now include six officers from Greater Manchester Police, two from Cheshire, and two from north Wales.
