Officers from South Wales Police were called to New Hope Community Church in Cardiff as adults and children congregated despite Wales' fire-break lockdown restrictions

Police were called to a church holding a religious service on Sunday evening despite them being not permitted in Wales under coronavirus restrictions.

Officers from South Wales Police were called to New Hope Community Church in Llanrumney, Cardiff on Sunday evening as adults and children congregated inside. A video was shared to the church's Facebook page, where officers can be seen walking inside.

A person in the video, who is wearing a mask as is everyone inside the church, says: "We are at church right now and the police just showed up. They have knocked on all the windows and the doors, they shined flashlights, so please pray for us right now. I'm just letting you know this is happening. This is in Cardiff. We are not even in a third world country right now, this is in Cardiff."

The video then shows a police officer inform the people inside the church that they have received phone calls from members of the public who are concerned about people breaching the coronavirus regulations at the church. The officer, wearing a mask, informs the church they are breaching coronavirus rules.

You’d think England would’ve learned from the last time they cracked down on church attendance. A whole new country ended up being founded. And that tiny fledgling little country ended up handing England’s arse to itself.
