The siege

A man who sparked a four-hour police stand off at a bowling alley has been jailed for twelve years.

Young children were among the customers who fled in panic from the MFA Bowl centre in Nuneaton after David Clarke produced what turned out to be a de-activated sawn off shotgun and took two hostages.
