A popular bar's licence has been suspended over Christmas and beyond after police linked it to serious crime – and reports are now emerging of an alleged attack at the venue.
Sin, in Coachman's Court, Ipswich, recently had its premises licence – which allows it to serve alcohol and operate as a late-night establishment – suspended as an interim step.
But now a council panel has decided to strip the bar of these privileges for a further three months following a special hearing on Thursday night, sparked by Suffolk police's fears that the venue was "associated with serious crime".
