Police seal off Holiday in Hotel and evacuate residents after ‘suspicious device’ found
A large cordon was in place at the Holiday Inn on Clayton road in Staffordshire.

The Holiday Inn by the M6 in Clayton has been closed to paying guests for some time to provide temporary accommodation for the families who were forced to flee their homeland after the Taliban swept to power.

Police sealed off the hotel and evacuated residents after a ‘suspicious device’ was found and staff called the emergency services.

A large cordon has been put in place on Clayton road and the guest moved away from the area.

Police said a suspicious device was found, with a cordon in place

A spokesman said: “Police are currently in attendance, following the discovery of a potentially suspicious device. As a standard safety precaution, a 100m cordon is in place and nearby buildings have been evacuated. Road closures are in place while an assessment is undertaken.
