Seven men have been fined after police discovered a "pop-up pub" complete with a bar, television and pool table inside an East Midlands home.
The makeshift pub, inside the home in Morris Road, Leicester, was found on Wednesday evening (February 10) at around the same time as the Leicester City match kicked off.
Upon entering the premises, police found a television connected to a Sky TV box with the football being broadcast, while canned and bottled alcohol was being consumed.
A total of seven men were found inside the home, and they were all issued with £200 fixed penalty notices for breaching coronavirus lockdown guidance.
No money appeared to be being exchanged and there was no till present.
Sergeant Ben Widdowson, of Leicestershire Police, said: "Officers acted on information received to carry out effective enforcement leading to seven people being issued with Fixed Penalty Notices.
"Gatherings such as this puts the lives of you, your family, your friends and people in your community at risk.
"We will take action on information received and while we continue to encourage, engage and explain in relation to the regulations, we will enforce when clear breaches of the regulations have been made.
"Times are challenging for everyone but please stay at home and keep yourselves and others safe.
"We do continue to thank everyone who is complying with the rules and understanding why they are in place as well as to those who are reporting breaches of the regulations to us."
