Police have launched an investigation after a bomb scare caused the evacuation of a Telford fast food restaurant.
Staff and customers at McDonald's in Donnington, Telford, were evacuated at around 11.30am on Thursday, after staff received a call claiming there was a bomb in the building.
Police descended on the fast food restaurant and closed off School Road but quickly established the call was a hoax. A spokesperson from West Mercia Police said: “McDonald's on School Road in Donnington was evacuated as a precaution this morning after a call was made to staff at around 11:30am claiming there was a bomb in the restaurant.
“As you would expect the restaurant was evacuated and the road outside temporarily closed as a precaution. "Quick enquiries established that it was a hoax call and the road was open, and McDonald's back open again within 40 minutes. An investigation into the source of the call is now underway.”
