A nightclub in Birmingham's shut down after a review from the City Council found they were linked to serious criminal activity.

King VN on Holloway Head has had two premises licenses revoked.

Two licences were active within the premises, with two different licence holders, and both have been suspended, along with the removal of the DPS (Designated premises supervisor) for both.

The suspension of the licence follows a warrant we executed on Saturday 6 January, where a large amount of class A and B drugs were found, along with cash totalling over £30,000.

Two people aged 38 and 35 were arrested at the scene and have since been released on bail as enquiries are ongoing.
