Museum forced to close exhibits after former employee allegedly disables IT systems

A former Museum contract worker has been arrested after allegedly shutting down its IT systems.

The museum said the former member of staff, who had recently been dismissed, had “trespassed” at the venue and was arrested at the scene.
