A pub has had its licence suspended after continual breaches of Covid-19 rules - with police even finding punters hiding upstairs.
The Angel Inn in Burnley, Lancashire, has been ordered to close after police were called on several occasions after allowing people to flout restrictions, reports Lancashire Live.
On one occasion officers heard loud music playing and saw people drinking at the bar, before the customers then attempted to unsuccessfully flee out the back door.
However, the licence holder Jackie Davies claimed that staff have tried their best, but argued that the pub "is not in the best of areas with difficult people".
