A popular Lurgan business was shut suddenly on Thursday after the High Court issued a Bankruptcy Order.
Police officers were tasked to the business premises on the Portadown Road in order “to prevent any breach of the peace” as government agents seized assets.
A Department for the Economy spokesperson said: “Following the making of a Bankruptcy Order at the High Court, the Department’s Official Receiver instructed agents to attend the bankrupt’s premises, located at the Portadown Road, Lurgan, in order to close down the business and secure all assets for the benefit of creditors.
“The Department understands that officers from the PSNI were also present at the scene to prevent a breach of the peace.
“Any queries relating to the participation of the police in the incident should be directed to PSNI Headquarters.”
Police confirmed their presence at the scene.
The Dog Bark – a popular business with pet owners – posted on Thursday: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will be closed until further notice. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.”
