Parents refuse to pay £10k fine for son, 18, who threw party while they were away

The parents of an 18-year-old are refusing to pay his £10,000 fine for hosting a house party he claimed got out of hand.

Police found between 80 and 100 people at the house party in Devizes, Wiltshire, on September 4.

The teen claimed he had only invited a few friends over but his event was gatecrashed after word got out about it on social media.

Officers were called to the event and ordered party-goers to leave but after being ignored, police fined the organiser and dispersed the guests. 

But the boy’s family have refused to pay the hefty fine because they believe their son did not intentionally break Covid-19 rules and said they are willing to take the case to court, according to The Times. (Metro)
