Revellers evacuated from packed clubs and pubs as police send in robot to probe ‘suspicious vehicle’
Nightclubbers describe scenes of ‘madness’ as bomb disposal squad is called to investigate concern raised by member of public in north London hotspot
PARTYGOERS were evacuated from some of London’s trendiest bars and clubs last night as a bomb disposal squad was called in to deal with a “suspicious vehicle”.
The bomb scare was sparked after a concerned member of the public contacted police after seeing the car in Camden Lock, in the north of the capital, last night.
Bemused revellers were cleared from the area as The Metropolitan Police arrived to deal with the suspected explosive.
Camden High Street and Chalk Farm Road were both cordoned off by cops while the car was investigated.
