Firefighters were called out to Jersey's Superdrug store this morning in what turned out to be a false alarm.

A member of the public phoned 999 just before 8am after seeing smoke billowing from the shop.

Jersey Fire and Rescue were there a few minutes later, and parts of King Street, Broad Street, Dumaresq Street and Pitt street were cordoned off as a precaution.

Firefighters investigated the area and confirmed there was no fire.

The high street was re-opened again just before 9am.
