    Workers at a bank have fallen ill, with "hazmat" suits spotted entering the property along with an emergency crew following a "funny smell".<\/p>\n

    Parts of Nuneaton town centre are now cordoned off following the incident in Santander earlier today.<\/p>\n

    Ambulances, fire engines and police cars were all spotted at the scene of the "funny smell" incident, which has reportedly left a number of people feeling unwell.<\/p>\n

    Reports of the "funny smell" came from inside the bank, with fire crews currently ventilating the building as ambulance response units attend to the potentially unwell individuals inside the bank. <\/p>\n

    Images from the scene showed the bank being cordoned off as a "minor hazmat" incident was confirmed by Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service.<\/p>\n

    Further statements from West Midlands Ambulance Service were issued as reports of "people feeling unwell" were called in around midday today.<\/p>\n

    Their statement read: "We were called to reports of people feeling unwell on Newdigate Street at 12.26pm.<\/p>\n

    We currently have three ambulances, a paramedic officer and the Trust\u2019s Hazardous Area Response Team at the scene and are assessing a number of patients."<\/p>\n
