Police bust pop-up pub complete with beer taps, pool table and Premier League football on TV and dish our £200 Covid fines to eight drinkers

Shocking footage has captured the moment police shut down a pop-up pub complete with beer taps, a pool table and Premier League football playing on the TV.

Leicestershire Police discovered the illicit gathering in Leicester yesterday, and dished out fines of £200 to seven men found inside the makeshift pub.

A clip from the bust shows officers as they enter the premises on Morris Road after responding to a tip, one of the policemen saying: 'Hello folks, what are we doing.'

As he enters the room, bodycam footage shows two men playing pool while another group are gathered on a set of barstools towards the back of the space.
