THE former head and deputy head of Copland Community School are among those arrested by police investigating bonuses, the Harrow Times understands.

Sir Alan Davies, 64, and Dr Richard Evans, 53, are said to have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud at separate addresses in North London this morning.

A 50-year-old woman was also arrested at the same residential address as Dr Evans on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and theft.

The trio were all taken to north-west London police stations where they will face questioning by detectives.

The move comes after a lengthy fraud squad investigation into alleged misappropriation of school funds.

Dr Evans currently teaches at Mill Hill County High School.
