Eight fixed penalty notices have been given out in Lincoln for people breaching coronavirus restrictions within the first 24 hours of the easing of lockdown rules.
Officers responded to three house parties reported by members of the public at Dunholme Court, Pine Close and Longdales Road.
Police said between 6 to 10 people were found at each property - therefore breaching the national restrictions for socialising indoors.
Meanwhile Lincolnshire Police said outside of Lincoln, there were no other significant gatherings indoors across the county which were brought to their attention.
Chief Superintendent Jon McAdam, said:
“Firstly I’d like to thank the vast majority of people across Lincolnshire for being responsible since the latest easing of the lockdown restrictions, and the positive measures taken by local businesses in ensuring this is managed as safe as possible.
“The reopening of pubs, shops, gyms and outdoor venues is welcome news for us all, but it is crucial that we don’t become complacent and we continue to stick to the rules; ensuring we all play our part to keep ourselves and others safe and to prevent any possible resurgence of the virus.
“This has been a difficult time for everyone and whilst we have reached the next stage for the easing of restrictions it is important to remind ourselves that indoor gatherings are not permitted at this time"
