WEST Mercia Police have tweeted about people stopped by police officers out on the streets, and not following the government enforced rules.

Earlier this week people were told the only valid reasons to leave home were to get exercise once a day, travel to work, shop for essential items or fulfil medical care or care needs.

But West Mercia Specials twitter account has tweeted about those they stopped on Tuesday night - including someone taking pictures.

The account tweeted: "Despite all the communication and advice, there were still a number of people out and about last night thinking the rules don't apply to them.

"There was even one person out doing some photography "while town is empty".

"All suitably advised and sent home. #StayHome."
