SMOKE appears to be pouring from the front door of the Coventry Building Society in Stroud.
Staff could be seen trying deal with the situation while what looked like thin smoke filled up the inside of the bank at about 3.40pm this afternoon.
The incident may be related to a false activation during a security drill.
