A Redland household has been fined collectively almost £5,000 for hosting a house party of more than 15 people after six organisers were fined £800 each.
Guests decided to play hide and seek with the police and hide in upstairs bedrooms, while the hosts stayed in the living room to maintain the illusion that no one else was there.
However, after the police told them they were going to start checking bedrooms and for them “to start being adults”, it quickly emerged that multiple people were hiding in the house.

Groups of revellers have been fined after breaching Covid-19 regulations by holding house parties and a pub lock-in.
Avon and Somerset Police said people had been issued with fixed-penalty notices after incidents had taken place in Bristol and Taunton last week.
The current regulations in England do not allow anyone to meet indoors with anybody they do not live with, unless there is a legal exemption.
The force said on April 20 officers were called to The Waggon pub in Taunton amid reports of a lock-in.
Officers from outside the premises observed a small number of people inside the premises drinking and dancing.
