TWO police officers face possible criminal charges after lying to a series of investigations about their involvement in a deadly police chase.


Police chases are also set for a review, with the coroner calling for mandatory video recording of all police pursuits.

The fallout follows the inquest into the death of 19-year-old Shane Bennett, who died after being chased through Seaford in 2008.

As first revealed by the Herald Sun, crucial elements of sworn statements of the two officers chasing Mr Bennett, Senior Constables Michael Bednarczyk and Cameron Orr, were proven false through the use of GPS data.

The duo now stand accused by the coroner of turning a blind eye to their dangerous speeds before Mr Bennett crashed and died.

In a Victorian first, investigators and international experts took the data from the officers' vehicle to prove they were going much faster than they told several inquiries - including an internal ESD inquiry, an OPI probe and a coronial hearing.
