From the https://www.newsshopper.co.uk By Liam McInerney, 12th July 2019.

Two people were arrested for drug possession after police were called to a Biggin Hill boozer over anti-social behaviour concerns.

Bromley Police released a statement today which said "bemused officers" had to persuade one party goer in The Flying Machine that they were "not the entertainment" before making the arrests.

Police were called to the pub on Kings Road on the night of June 28.

The post read: "Two people were taken into custody arrested for drug possession and while others were spoken to by police.

"The licensee has been fully cooperative in the investigation."

News Shopper was tipped off about the police presence last month, but after contacting Met Police, a spokesman was unable to confirm any details.

However, Bromley police have now reported what happened.

News Shopper has tried to contact The Flying Machine for a response, but we were put through to a publishing company instead.

"It’s not the first time this has happened," the woman over the phone laughed.
