Watch Moment Police Shut Down 'Good Friday' Mass in a London Church Due to COVID-19 Laws

Footage captured officers interrupting a Liturgy of the Lord's Passion service at Christ the King Polish church in Balham at around 6pm on Friday.

One police officer was filmed telling parishioners that the gathering was "unfortunately unlawful under the coronavirus regulations".

He added: "You are not allowed to meet inside with this many people under law."

"At this moment in time you need to go home. Failure to comply with this direction to leave and go to your home address, ultimately could lead you to be fined £200 or, if you fail to give your details, to you being arrested.

"It's Good Friday and I appreciate you would like to worship, but it is unlawful," he said.

The church has criticized the police for interrupting the service, saying it believes the officers "brutally exceeded their powers by issuing their warrant for no good reason" because "all government requirements were met".
