Police have apologised to a woman who was left naked in a cell for three hours after she was wrongfully arrested for sitting on the roof of her car as it was about to be towed away.
Yvonne Farrell, 52, sued Hertfordshire Constabulary for unlawful arrest after she staged a sit-in on her partner s car in Stevenage when tow-truck operators arrived to clamp it in August 2018.
Officers detained her for allegedly committing a public order offence and subsequently threatened to remove her clothing by force if she failed to cooperate with them.
When she refused to give her name, Ms Farrell was taken to a camera cell and obliged to strip naked to humiliate, distress and embarrass her with a view to forcing her to confess her identity , according to her lawyer.
