Police in Worthing have warned the coronavirus lockdown is ‘not a holiday’ after officers were deliberately spat and coughed on.

In a statement posted on Facebook yesterday (April 9), a spokesman for Worthing and Adur Police said: “We are frustrated that we are having to attend numerous reports of BBQs and parties in Worthing.

“Lives are at risk because of a selfish few who continue to ignore advice and deliberately spit and cough on our officers who are trying to save lives.”
