Around 10 people were inside the property and the group were dispersed. For the second breach, the resident was this time issued with a £400 fine.

Assistant Chief Constable Claire Nix said: ‘Kent Police continues to respond to the virus in the same way we have since March, using enforcement only as a last resort.
‘Blatant and repeated breaches of the rules in this way will result in our officers issuing fixed penalty notices to those responsible.
‘The virus is still a huge threat to our communities and I would encourage everyone to adhere to the national restrictions to keep themselves and others safe.’
