Chief Constable Ian Hopkins has slammed people who are treating the coronavirus crisis like a 'holiday'. He spoke out after seeing people leaving a supermarket in Gorton with a shopping trolley full of booze and charcoal for a BBQ.

His officers had also had to deal with people lighting bar-be-cues in parks, taking advantage of the sunny weather despite the lockdown. "That's not acceptable," he said.
