He said: “It took them five hours to arrive and then another 45 minutes to take the evidence. When you are trying to run a business this was far too long.”
A Camden Police spokeswoman, who refused to name the hospital involved, said: “The venue was closed so that officers could gather all the evidence related to the incident and could investigate the circumstances.
“It is usual practice to preserve the crime scene after an incident has taken place to avoid any evidence being contaminated.
“A thorough investigation must take place in order apprehend any suspects involved and aid the prosecution.”
