Kids summer camp closed after man arrested over indecent images
A children’s summer camp popular with Jewish families has closed down, following a police arrest of a man for possession of indecent images of children.
Parents were informed in an email last night that LL camps, based in Bushey and offering full-day activities throughout the summer, would be closed “with immediate effect”.
On Friday morning, Joint Statement Hertfordshire County Council and Hertfordshire Constabulary said: “the privately run LL Camps American Camp in Merry Hill, Bushey, has been suspended by OFSTED.” 
Distressed parents, many of whom were left scrambling for new childcare plans for the summer, took to Twitter to speculate on what had happened and to demand refunds.
When contacted, LL Camps said they were not yet commenting.
