CORONAVIRUS- Police Chase Away Group of People Having a Bank Party
Category: World News
Cops broke up a house party after claims a group of people were "drinking and partying" despite strict coronavirus lockdown rules.
Almost two dozen officers and four paramedics were called to the mass gathering in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham.
Neighbors saw party goers being chased away and told to return home by emergency services.
Despite the summer-like weather this week, the public have been persistently urged by authorities not to be tempted to flout the rules and be out of their homes for longer than necessary.
It comes as the UK's coronavirus death toll surged past 10,000 to 10,612, after the department of health reported 737 deaths in the last 24 hours.
But, according to Teesside Live, a group of people were seen making the most of the bank holiday weekend at a mass house gathering fuelled with booze and loud music.
A sea of police cars and an ambulance were later pictured at an address in Hardwick just after 9pm on Saturday.
One man was said to have been arrested while another person refused medical treatment from paramedics.
An eyewitness said: "The rest were chased away and asked to go back into their homes.
"Around 20 officers and four paramedics were on scene."
