1/1 POLICE were left dismayed after partygoers claimed they “didn’t watch the news” and they “were unaware” about the pandemic as their house party was rumbled in Popley on Saturday night. A 27-year-old man from Basingstoke has been slapped with a fixed penalty notice after holding the gathering but his guests have not been fined, according to Hampshire Constabulary. Officers were called to Guernsey Close at 8.30pm to reports of a house party where they found four people at the address who didn’t live there - in breach of current restrictions. But police were taken aback by their excuse. A spokesman for the force said: “The occupants were spoken to and claimed to be unaware of the global pandemic as they never watch the news.”
