Huge Lockdown Party Crashed in Chislehurst
Just before midnight on Saturday, November 28, cops were flooded with calls about a massive illegal gathering in a garage at Marlings Park Avenue, Chislehurst.
Officers arrived to find 60-80 revellers packed in tight. While some groups fled straight away, a second bunch tried to hide in a room. Police swiftly dispersed them without trouble.

Police Crackdown on Lockdown Lawbreakers
Chief Inspector Neil Jeffs said: “This was a blatant attempt to breach the Coronavirus regulations and the behaviour of the organiser in this instance was unacceptable.
While some of the crowd left immediately, others tried to hide in a room in a forlorn attempt to evade officers.
We will continue to take tough action against those who selfishly fail to respect the regulations which the majority of Londoners have followed admirably.”
