Force said to have agreed to £20,000 payout to parents who complained about daughter’s school in Borehamwood
A police force has reportedly admitted it unlawfully arrested two parents in front of their nine-year-old daughter after they complained about her school on WhatsApp.
Rosalind Levine and her partner, Maxie Allen, said they were held at a police station for 11 hours over the complaints about their daughter’s primary school.
The pair claimed they had been arrested and detained in January by six uniformed officers on suspicion of harassment, malicious communications and causing a nuisance on school property.
While Hertfordshire constabulary originally defended the arrest, it has now admitted it was unlawful and agreed a £20,000 payout, according to the Times.
