Pink Punters announces details for collecting items left behind on night of fire which ravaged popular Milton Keynes nightclub
A Milton Keynes nightclub has announced details of when items left behind on the night of a fire, which destroyed the building, can be collected.
Pink Punters, located on Watling Street was hit by a major blaze at around 2am on Sunday April 26, with the venue evacuated and 12 fire crews sent to tackle the incident.
Nobody was injured although the building was destroyed by the fire.
In a statement issued on May 7, Pink Punters thanked the public for their continued support and patience following the fire and detailed how belongings left in the cloakroom area on the evening of the incident could be collected.
“We can now confirm that collection of cloakroom items from the evening of April 25 has been arranged for Saturday May 9,” Pink Punters said in a statement.
“Please attend between 1pm and 4pm and, where possible, bring the cloakroom tag you were issued on the night.
“If you are unable to collect your item personally, you may arrange for someone to collect it on your behalf.”
Following a joint investigation between Thames Valley Police and Bucks Fire and Rescue Service, third-party involvement in the fire was ruled out, with the blaze believed to have been started accidentally.
A 51-year-old man from Milton Keynes was arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life, but has since been eliminated from police enquiries.
