From This is Cornwall:

A Liberal Democrat councillor and former constituency organiser for a West Cornwall MP has been arrested on suspicion of fraud.

Joe Taylor, of Pendeen Road, Truro, was last week arrested and bailed by police investigating a complaint of cheque fraud.

The enquiry is believed to centre around the charity Freedom Surf, a project which helps disabled people to go surfing and of which Mr Taylor, 34, was a director until July this year.

The current director, Mark Hills, has claimed that Mr Taylor billed the charity for more than £1,000 in administration fees after he stepped down.

Mr Taylor, a Liberal Democrat councillor for Boscawen ward, Truro City Council, denies the charges.
