Bingo players at the Gala Bingo Club in Liversage Street and shoppers in Derby’s Westfield Centre were evacuated after the centre received a bomb threat. This was just yesterday at 2pm. Staff members at the Next store were called three times in a row, one after the other, by a man who had claimed that he placed a bomb in the shop.
An armed robber, suspected of being part of a gang of three who robbed the Gala Bingo Club in Pallion New Road, Sunderland, set himself alight when he appeared to be trying to burn out the vehicle that was used as a getaway car.
A short while ago a twenty-six year old mother got a little more than she bargained for when she went into labour at her local Gala Bingo club in Glass Houghton. The young mother, now of two, went into labour and was mere minutes away from delivering the baby in the toilets at the Gala Bingo club; she really believed that she was going to have the baby there and then.
