Police raid London wedding with 400 guests

Punch Newspapers Sections Published 22 January 2021 British police said on Friday they had raided a wedding with 400 guests in a London school, as the government began a crackdown on illicit parties flouting national lockdown laws. Under current lockdown rules in England, weddings can only take place in “exceptional circumstances” with up to six people present. Officers found hundreds of people at the school, whose windows had been covered up, with Detective Chief Superintendent Marcus Barnett calling it “a completely unacceptable breach of the law”. The organiser could face a £10,000 ($13,600, 11,200-euro) fine, police said. While many of the guests fled the scene, five were fined £200.
