Armed police swoop on high street after reports of screams and gunshots – only to discover it was coming from a theatre show
ARMED cops descended on a theatre production after a terrified local reported hearing screams and gunshots from inside - only to find the noises were from the show itself.
Five vehicles carrying police officers stormed the Colab Theatre in Borough, London, where the audience were enjoying an immersive show in which they were "hunted" by gun-toting "evil agents".
A local resident called the Met Police after hearing disturbing noises from inside last night.
In "Hunted" audience members are split up into two teams of 10 in a "spy adventure like no other".
After cops had attended to the scene they tweeted: "Attended a call to gunshots/people screaming in Long Lane #SE1 last night.
