    Avon and Somerset Police had been called to the Gloucester Road area of Bristol after reports of loud music coming from two houses.
    Officers discovered more than 200 people outside of the property who were also blocking the entire road. 
    On their arrival officers then went into one of the houses and issued the hefty fine to its occupants for breaching Covid rules.
    Supt Mark Runacres said: “Officers accessed one of the properties and the occupants were issued with a £10,000 fixed penalty notice for breaching COVID-19 legislation and sound equipment was seized.
    “Enquiries are ongoing to identify and issue an equivalent fixed penalty notice to those responsible for playing the loud music from the second property.
    “It’s so positive to see the vast majority of people celebrating the incredible achievements of the England football team responsibly, but unlicensed music events cannot be tolerated.”

    “Few people have been able to attend games or socialise and watch matches together over the past year and we’re not trying to stop people having fun.
    “However, we would ask the public and businesses to make sure they continue to comply with legal restrictions around COVID-19 and follow the current health advice.”
    Those who are caught organising mass gatherings during the pandemic and breaching coronavirus legislation are being hit with £10k fines.
    The have been 250 of the maximum penalty fines handed to organisers of mass gatherings of more than 30 people, including illegal raves, parties and protests, in England, with two in Wales.

    Make-up artist Mia, their five-year-old daughter Alicia and son Alexander, two, were held by the gang while another robber armed with a knife marched Robin around the property.
    Fearing for his family’s safety, the Swedish international, 31, handed over several expensive pieces of jewellery and a watch.
    The raid, which comes weeks after Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti was targeted, happened on Saturday ­evening at the family’s rented home in Hale Barns, Cheshire.
    A source said: “This wasn’t just a ­burglary, it was the worst kind of home invasion. A gang armed with machetes threatening your wife and children.

    “Robin was terrified. He’s not bothered about the theft of material things, it’s the effect it’s had on his family. They are deeply traumatised by it. It’s every parent’s worst nightmare. The family have moved out and the club has given each player their own security guards.”
    The area is popular with scores of ­Premier League players. 
    A source said: “News of this burglary has sent shudders through the football world because the house was targeted when they knew the player and his ­family were in. Everyone has been told to increase security.”
