At the end of his shift, he revealed the team had calls from over 250 coronavirus breaches.

Revealing his "frustration" on social media Glenn Shuttleworth, Control Room Supervisor with Devon and Cornwall Police:

"Late shift today. Just over an hour gone and 41 Covid breaches, we need to attend already, pretty much all people at holiday homes, frustrating.

It caused quite a stir on social media with another member of the police retweeting:

"What is wrong with people. Stay at home."
