Clowns have arrived in London, but nobody’s scared because this is London

Creepy “killer clowns” have been spotted in London, after multiple sightings around the country.

Thames Valley Police have announced they were called to 14 separate clown incidents within the space of 24 hours this weekend.

However, unlike the absolute terror in other cities, people in the capital are characteristically unfazed.

Chief Supt Andy Boyd, head of TVP’s neighbourhood policing, said: “While we do not want to be accused of stopping people enjoying themselves, we would also ask those same people to think of the impact of their behaviour on others and themselves.

“Their actions can cause fear and anxiety to other people, this could be perceived to be intimidating and threatening which could lead to public order offences, arrest and a criminal record.”

The craze, which started on college campuses in the US, now seems to have spread to UK soil.

Sightings have now been reported everywhere from Bristol to Leeds, with one particularly creepy clown being spotted outside of Belfast nightclub Villa last Wednesday.

The UK clown problem started in Newcastle, Northumbria Police were forced to arrest one with a “bladed article” last week.

The clown epidemic has caused mass hysteria across the country – but for most Londoners, it’s just another day in the city.
