Police in Regina issued another hefty COVID-19 fine on Saturday morning. 

The police service got reports of a large gathering in the 2000 block of Angus Street just before 5 a.m. CST, a news release says.

When officers arrived, they found a group of people in the residence, contrary to the current provincial health order that limits the number of people who can attend a private gathering. 

A woman who was a resident at the address was issued a $2,800 ticket.

Police in Regina have now issued at least 10 tickets for people violating public health orders related to COVID-19.
