Police Inspectors warned after
Two high-ranking former Llanelli police officers have come in for official warnings after a misconduct probe.
Inspectors Dyfed Bolton and Bob Price also had "managerial advice" following an investigation by the force's Professional Standards Department.
Dyfed-Powys Police bosses shifted the officers from their town patch soon after the misconduct allegations emerged.
The pair were moved in November last year - the same month in which their alleged off-duty misconduct at the town police station occurred. The details of the misconduct have not been made public.

Home of Ga. Police Chief Burne
By ELLIOTT MINOR
Associated Press Writer
MARSHALLVILLE, Ga. (AP) - Townspeople broke into the police chief's house and burned it down early Friday, a few hours after a man died in police custody, authorities said.
No one was home at the time, and no injuries were reported. No immediate arrests were made.
Police Chief Stephen Stewart, who returned from reserve duty in Iraq about two months ago, had left the house along with his family shortly after the death in this town of 1,300 people 90 miles south of Atlanta, authorities said.
Clarence Walker, 48, died at a hospital after officers shot him with pepper spray Thursday night while he was resisting arrest on probation and parole violations, said John Bankhead, a spokesman for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.
As news of Walker's death spread, about 100 people gathered downtown near the police station. Sheriff Charles Cannon said the crowd was not unruly.
``In a small town like Marshallville, it's a situation where people want to know what's going on,'' Cannon said. ``They're inquisitive, concerned, especially the family of the deceased. We don't have all the answers.''
After about two hours, Cannon said, he asked Walker's family to ask the crowd to disperse, and they did. It was around that time that several people broke into Stewart's home and set it on fire, Bankhead said.
The FBI joined the investigation.
The home, actually a parsonage in a church, was destroyed. Stewart, police chief for about 2 years, and his family had been living in the home temporarily after his return from a year in Iraq.
The two officers involved in Walker's arrest were suspended with pay, the sheriff said.
