North Yorkshire Police will face no action over the contact officers had with disgraced presenter Jimmy Savile, the police watchdog has said.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) had investigated the force “in light of information received”, a spokesman said.

Savile had a home in Scarborough, where he regularly spent time.

Following a review of “all relevant material”, the IPCC has told the force there will be no further action.

In a letter to North Yorkshire Police, the IPCC’s Director of Investigations Moir Stewart stated the watchdog had concluded its inquiries.
