The officer, who lives in Harlow in Essex, is due to appear at Westminster magistrates court in central London later today to face the allegation for the first time.
It is alleged PC Carter “wilfully and without reasonable excuse or justification misconducted yourself in a way which amounted to an abuse of the public’s trust in the office holder by stealing cash from a deceased male who has passed away in the street”.
