Four people coming back from house party hit with fines for Covid breaches

Four people have been hit with fines after they were caught by police returning home from a house party.

Widnes Police said the four fines were issued for Covid breaches after the group attended a house party in St Helens, believed to have been held in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Police said they had to deal with the breaches while already called out to other emergencies including a serious domestic assault.

Posting on their official Facebook page, a spokesperson for Widnes Police said: "Busy start to the shift for E Block. Four fines issued for Covid breaches following individuals coming from St Helen's for a house party, all while managing two scenes and supporting a vulnerable victim after a serious domestic assault."

They ended the post with the hashtags #hereforyou and #hereforvictims.

On Friday, Widnes Police said they had also handed out five fixed penalty notices to people breaching Covid restrictions.

More than 2,000 people in Merseyside and Cheshire have been slapped with Fixed Penalty Notices for breaching regulations since the start of the pandemic.

Later today, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to release more details on how restrictions will be lifted over the next few months as the vaccination programme gathers pace and infection rates continue to fall in the UK.
