The officers on the scene said that they were in "absolute shock" at the discovery of the party which featured karaoke and a huge food buffet, as seen in the picture above.

All in attendance were dispersed and the hosts of the party were reportedly "dealt with". This occurred on the very first weekend since nationwide lockdown measures were imposed.

Everyone dispersed and hosts dealt with. It is clear people are still having complete disregard for the government advice and rules.

The current lockdown measures are expected to last for at least three weeks, with people being advised to avoid any type of social interaction and remain two metres apart from anyone that they don't live with.

There have been more than 19,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK which have resulted in 1,228 deaths.
