Pay-out for four in swoop blunder

Four innocent friends held at gunpoint in a bungled police swoop have won pay-outs from Scotland Yard.

James Barber, Claire Clarke, Nick Fairbairn and his wife Ruth were travelling in a car mistaken for a vehicle wanted in connection with an armed incident.

The occupants were dragged from the car by police in Harrow, London last April. The force has apologised and agreed to pay the four more than £23,000.
