An unlicensed music event, which recklessly breached the Coronavirus regulations, was shut down last weekend with the event organiser being reported for a £10,000 fine.
Shortly after 9.30 am on Sunday, 4 October, officers from the Met were called to Wythes Road, E16 following several concerns from residents of anti-social and violent behaviour in the streets.
After arriving on the scene, officers could hear loud music blaring from a derelict public house and saw more than 150 people crammed inside a hazardous and unsanitary hall within the building.
Extensive music and DJ systems were also set up in one corner of the building.

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.
One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.
We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!
As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

£10,000 fine, who will pay it, they’ll probably just vanish off the face of the earth, like travellers who commit crimes, no permanent address, how does the summons get delivered?
