Footage shows large group of students in fancy dress leaving party

Footage showing a large group of students racing out of an accommodation block following a party has been released.

The video was shot in North Sherwood Street on Saturday night, October 31, as Boris Johnson announced a second national lockdown.

The footage shows the students getting out of the building, some in fancy dress, laughing and joking. Under Tier 3 rules, it is illegal for different households to mix indoors or private gardens.

Police were called out to a number of mass house parties over the weekend and handed out 83 in total fines, mainly to students. One party organiser was handed a £10,000 fine.

Nottinghamshire Police Chief Constable, Craig Guildford, called on universities to expel students as a strong deterrent.

Police said they gave a formal warning to a woman after they dispersed a group of people who had gathered at a flat and communal room in North Sherwood Street in the city centre.

Overall, more than £26,000 of fines were handed out over the weekend.
