THIS footage shows police busting a Covid-rule breaking cider tasting gathering on a Somerset farm. Customers were being served cider by staff - all congregated around tables and not socially distancing or wearing face masks. Body-worn footage from January 30 shows one officer greet the boozing rule-breakers at the farm near Wedmore, Somerset. After little response, the office then travels through another door to find more people. He sarcastically say: Ahh, more people. The owner of the premises eventually told coppers he was hosting a cider tasting - although he knew he was breaking lockdown rules. Acting Sergeant Matthew Shaqer said: “The COVID-19 regulations are clear that alcohol cannot be served to customers for on-site consumption at this current time. Several people could be seen sat at tables with a glass of cider in a clear breach of the regulations.
Staff served customers alcohol and they all congregated around tables without wearing face coverings.
