Illegal basement nightclub shut down after punters spotted entering through takeaway shutters
An ‘illegal’ basement nightclub which let punters in by bringing them underneath a takeaway’s security shutters has been shut down.
Last week , Magistrates granted a court order shutting down the club following an investigation which lasted months. During the course of the probe, council officers found a huge haul of booze.Its officers saw members of the public entering Queens Lounge through Tasty’s shutters, which were raised and lowered to allow access.
The clincher, however, came after a joint visit to the club between the council and police. On March 25, officers found a large quantity of alcohol stored in the basement of the premises, intended for sale. The discovery of a receipt book confirmed this suspicion, and led to the council to apply for a Closure Order on the premises, which was granted last Friday.
“The wealth of evidence uncovered through our investigation proved beyond doubt this venue was operating as an illegal bar and club.
