B&Q in Milton Keynes has been forced to close due to an 'incident' that took place this morning (21/6).

There has been a group of staff members positioned at the car park entrance in Rooksley directing customers away from the premises.

An MKFM reporter attended the scene shortly after 1pm and was advised that there had been "an incident this morning" and that no further information could be provided.

There were no police cars or ambulances in the car park at the time - it was empty.

The B&Q employee also stated that they did not know when the shop would be reopening.
