Men arrested after "large-scale" Greve de Lecq party

Tuesday 06 April 2021

A man in his 20s has been arrested and is currently on bail as part of a Police investigation into reports of a "large-scale party" in the Greve de Lecq area on Saturday night.

Police said the arrest was related to "covid laws", and that another man was arrested and subsequently charged for being drunk and disorderly.

Police said they believed that around 100 individuals were in attendance at the party.

Currently, islanders are limited to gathering in groups of 10 by law.

Meanwhile, two arrests were made for drunk and disorderly behaviour in St. Helier on Friday and Saturday night and both individuals are set to appear before a Parish Hall Enquiry at a later date.

"The Easter bank holiday weekend went fairly smoothly and from a policing perspective we didn’t experience a spike in crime numbers in correlation with the relaxation of covid laws and guidance," DCI Craig Jackson said.

Pleased to report town is busy with currently no reported issues. Delighted to see @Honorary_Police colleagues patrolling alongside @JerseyPolice - bit chilly! pic.twitter.com/DBrQwMsJJA
