The club was cleared shortly before closing time and a precautionary cordon was set up from the Weighbridge taxi rank to the Ship and Crown pub, which also encompassed the lower part of the Pollet and the Lower Pollet. Having publicised the incident, without mentioning the bomb threat, on social media at about 5am, the police later confirmed, shortly before 9am, that a bomb threat had been made, the cordon had now been removed and a 33-year-old man had been arrested in connection to the incident.
‘We thank everyone for their understanding while we ensured there was no threat,’ said a spokesman.
Police would still like to hear from anyone who can help with their ongoing enquiries.
