Police break up birthday party
A partygoer attending a student gathering which was broken up by police told officers “We’ve been bored and we want to have fun”, body-worn footage has shown.
Lancashire Police interrupted the birthday party, at a house in Wigan Road, Ormskirk, at about 2.45am on Sunday.
A spokesman for the force said several people fled the property when officers arrived, including some out of a window.
Body-worn footage shows one of the party-goers, who are believed to be Edge Hill University students, telling police: “We’ve been bored and we want to have fun.”
Police have released video footage of a house party taking place. In the footage officers can be seen entering the premises and some people attempting to leave the property in Ormskirk are told to remain. Police said they found around 30 revellers in ‘a blatant breach of the Covid-19 regulations’. The house party was taking place on Wigan Road at around 2.45am on Sunday (January 31) and believed to involve students from Edge Hill University. The university condemned the actions and said the actions of any students was ‘completely unacceptable’. In the footage one person says he was ‘bored’ and wanted to have some fun whilst a woman says it was only meant to be small gathering for a birthday ‘but word got out’. She then goes on to say, ‘How do you expect a 20-year-old girl to pay £10,000?’.
