WHO KNEW dominoes was such a popular game that it was being played in basements around Whitechapel?\u00a0 Who knew it was so addictive that players could not resist breaking Tier 4 restrictions to have a game?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whoever was in the know, it wasn\u2019t the Metropolitan Police \u2013 who were as surprised as anyone else to find out about the latest craze. On 29th December, police officers were called out to a restaurant on Whitechapel Road, E1.\u00a0 The identity of who called them has not been revealed.<\/p>\n

The owner of the restaurant let the police in, telling them that the only people on the premises worked there. He seemed, in the view of the police, reluctant to let them in. However, in they went \u2013 and found 12 people in a dark room.\u00a0 The police say that they believed that the people had gone there in order to play games \u2013 in particular, dominoes.<\/p>\n

A gathering of this size broke the Tier 4 restrictions then in operation in London.\u00a0 Accordingly, the \u201cworkers\u201d were all issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice, and the police have asked Tower Hamlets Council to consider whether to fine the restaurant owner.<\/p>\n
