Three teenagers have been charged with the murder of PC Andrew Harper, prosecutors have said.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) authorised Thames Valley police to charge Henry Long, 18, and two 17-year-old boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
Another man, Thomas King, 21, has been charged with conspiracy to steal a quad bike.
They are due to appear at Reading Magistrate's Court tomorrow morning.
There have now been four people charged with the officer's murder after Jed Foster, 20, was charged last month.
PC Harper was killed after being dragged by a car while responding to a burglary on 15 August near Sulhamstead in Berkshire.
He had only been married for four weeks at the time of his death.
Police have appealed for anyone with information about PC Harper's death to come forward.
Anyone with any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, should call the Thames Valley Police non-emergency number on 101.
