The revellers were not issued any punishment, however, despite breaking the law.
The spokesperson said: “We don’t fine unless there is no other action open. We engage and explain.
“We asked the group to disperse and they did. We would ask anyone who is thinking of organising one of these events to think of the bigger picture. Please refer to the government guidelines.”
