Police have been left in ‘absolute shock’ after shutting down a massive 25-person house party which flouted strict coronavirus lockdown rules.
Derbyshire Police published images of an enormous buffet and karaoke system held indoors at an unknown address early this morning.
The group of 25, which is understood to have included a mix of adults and children, was ‘dispersed and hosts dealt with’, officers said.
‘It is clear people are still having completing disregard for the Government advice and rules,’ a statement to Twitter added.
Twitter users, however, are more baffled by the eclectic 1970s-style buffet the alleged lockdown rule-breakers were enjoying.
MailOnline has contacted Derbyshire Police for more information.

The extraordinary scene comes as the force is facing charges of ‘overzealousness’ from ex-MPs, lawyers, and human rights groups.
Officers from Derbyshire Police are accused of muscle-flexing since the Coronavirus Act last week greatly extended their powers of enforcement.
Yesterday, officers poured black dye into a crystal blue lagoon in the Peak District to deter people from making ‘non-essential trips’.
They previously tracked country walkers using drones before shaming them online.
Rights groups have slammed their behaviour, with Big Brother Watch branding their tactics as ‘sinister, let along counter-productive’.
Meanwhile, chiefs have encouraged Britons to snitch on neighbours suspected of flouting lockdown rules, with Hampshire, West Midlands, Greater Manchester, and Avon and Somerset creating hotlines and portals for tip-offs.
