SEVEN men have been fined £200 each after they were caught drinking in a pop-up pub - complete with a pool table, beer taps and football on the TV.

Police body-cam footage shows the moment officers busted the makeshift boozer in Leicester as the lads gathered to watch The Foxes play Brighton in the FA Cup.

Police carried out enforcement at the premises on Morris Road just as the football match kicked off at 7.30pm on Wednesday evening (10/2).

They found the group drinking beer together inside the large room, which had a pool table, a large screen television connected to a Sky Box and a well-stocked bar.

The Argus:

One cop can heard saying to the men: "Hello folks, are you alright? What you doing? Sorry guys for spoiling your fun."

Each of the men, who claimed they all worked at the premises, were issued with a fixed penalty notice of £200 for breaching Covid lockdown rules.

Leicestershire Police said bottled alcohol was being consumed but no money appeared to be being exchanged and there was no till present.

“Gatherings such as this puts the lives of you, your family, your friends and people in your community at risk.

“Times are challenging for everyone but please stay at home and keep yourselves and others safe.

“We do continue to thank everyone who is complying with the rules and understanding why they are in place as well as to those who are reporting breaches of the regulations to us.”
