Police have reprimanded a group of Sheffield youngsters for breaking covid guidelines by ignoring social distancing by meeting as a group of eight inside a bus shelter.

A spokesman for Sheffield Southeast neighbourhood police team NPT said: “Eight people inside a bus stop with no social distancing is not acceptable, especially when they were not waiting for a bus.

“Despite being given false details by some of those involved, our detective PCSO's have managed to identify their correct details and have paid a visit to their real addresses.”
