Inspector M Blackledge Havering Police Licensing Officer detailed various incident since the start of 2013 where a number of crimes have been recorded showing the premise as the venue.

 

As a result of police attendance on 2nd Feb 2013, the premise was found to be in breach of a condition of their license in respect of the presence of a SIA badge holder being on duty. This was highlighted to staff at the time of the incident.
