Superintendent Tom Chisholm, head of neighbourhood policing, said cars could be seized and fines issued where necessary.

> “These gatherings are disruptive to local residents and in breach of signposted restrictions.   
>  
> “We will be deploying more officers to these areas and will deal with any offences robustly those taking part could face fines or even having their cars seized.”  
>  
> Supt Tom Chisholm, Staffordshire Police

Although lockdown has been eased, Supt Chisholm said the gatherings should not be taking place.

> “Coronavirus continues to be a major risk, so we would urge people not to attend the events as there can be large numbers involved.  
>  
> “We are asking drivers considering attending for the purposes of social gathering to consider the nuisance effects on local residents and stay away.  
>  
> “I’m also calling on the public to help us – if you have any intelligence or hear about an event taking place, please get in touch with us so we can prevent it.”  
>  
> Supt Tom Chisholm, Staffordshire Police

Anyone with information about planned gatherings can contact Staffordshire Police on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
