The owner of Big Boss takeaway in St Andrews has been charged with breaching licensing legislation.
Police closed the Bell Street takeaway in the early hours of Sunday morning.
One witness said: “We were walking down Bell Street when we noticed a police van, and realised police were inside Big Boss.
“The takeaway was closed and people had been asked to leave so there was a crowd outside.
“The door had been locked and there were a fair few police officers inside.”
