Four men who told police they drove to Derby from London to film a rap video for YouTube have been handed fines for breaching lockdown rules.

Derbyshire Police said the group, who were in a blue Volkswagen Golf GT, were stopped on the Raynesway island on the A511 in Alvaston, Derby, at about 00:00 GMT on Tuesday.

All four occupants were fined £200.

A force spokesman said the driver was also arrested on suspicion of defrauding a 90-year-old out of £9,000.
