Officers went to the Club, and found 13 men \u2013 unlucky for some \u2013 playing cards. Police dished out Fixed Penalty Notices to those present and have reported the incident to Hackney Council, which has the power to fine the owner too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chief Inspector Pete Shaw, from the Central East BCU, said, \u201cMy officers work incredibly hard, putting themselves at risk of catching this virus, to keep those in Hackney and Tower Hamlets safe. It is very disappointing when officers have to deal with groups of people who appear to think that these rules do not apply to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cTo make it very clear, anyone who is seen to be breaking the rules to hold or attend a house party or an unlicensed music event can expect to be fined by the police and the event shut down.
