Twenty partygoers were fined £200 each after an illegal lockdown party they were attending in a London restaurant basement was shut down by police.
Police raided the bash in Haverstock Hill, northwest London around 8.30pm on December 27 after receiving reports of multiple people entering the venue.
A video of the raid, taken from police bodycam footage, shows officers descending into the basement to discover the revellers gathered inside.

The visitors had come from another Tier 4 area. Gloucestershire entered Tier 4 on December 31. The current rules state you should not travel into or out of a Tier 4 area other than for legally permitted reasons such as for work, if you cannot work from home, education or to attend medical appointments. A tweet from the Glos Police Specialist Ops account stated: The occupants of this car were warned under the Covid legislation as they had travelled from one Tier 4 area to Tier 4 Gloucestershire visiting Birdlip. They have heeded the advice and are now returning home. Those breaching the rules can be given a Fixed Penalty Notice of £200 for the first offence, doubling for further offences up to a maximum of £6,400.

Lincolnshire officially moved up to tier 4 on Thursday, meaning people have extra new restrictions to familiarise themselves with.
Some three quarters of the UK population are now in tier 4, including Lincoln, Boston, South Kesteven, North Kesteven, East Lindsey, West Lindsey and South Holland. However, North and North East Lincolnshire will remain in tier 3.
This also means that, although the primary schools will open as planned on January 4, there will be a one week delay and then a staggered return for secondary school age pupils and those in colleges.
