A couple who were “unlawfully arrested” for criticising their daughter’s primary school on a parent WhatsApp group have received a £20,000 payout from Hertfordshire Police.
Times Radio producer Maxie Allen, 50, and his partner Rosalind Levine, 46, were stunned when they were led away by six uniformed police officers in January on suspicion of harassment and malicious communications and detained by police for 11 hours, after the school reported them.
