Warwickshire police had earlier ruled out any connection with ?terrorist activity? after saying they were dealing with an ?ongoing incident? at the leisure park in Nuneaton.
Mehdi Afshar ?Β the chief executive of MFA Bowl, which owns the alley ? was quoted by the BBC as saying the police had stormed the building and ended the siege.
There were no casualties, the BBC added.
Earlier, pictures on Twitter showed armed police at the complex, which is home to a cinema, gym, and several restaurants, and local media reported that roads leading to it had been closed off.
