Indian restaurant shut down in UK due to cockroaches!
London : In a bizarre incident, cockroaches have forced to shut down a restaurant in UK. An popular Indian restaurant in Leicester was forced shut down its business after health inspectors discovered a cockroach infestation.
Sand’s Glenfield was shut down on the spot earlier this month after being tipped off by a member of the public.
The business is now formally closed as a food business until the environmental health team are satisfied that the health risk condition no longer exists.
Magistrates upheld the inspectors’ decision to close the restaurant at a hearing on February 8. The restaurant will have to seek the approval of health inspectors to re-open once necessary refurbishment is completed.
The inspectors had found both dead and alive German cockroaches in the kitchen, including in the food store and in three freezers.
Cockroach traps, put down by pest controllers, were also discovered. The German cockroach is the most common type of cockroach found around the world.
