Seven women fined £200 each after travelling in limo from Bilston to Sedgley during lockdown
Seven women in the Black Country have each been fined £200 after travelling together in a limo during lockdown.
West Midlands Police stopped the limousine in Bilston on Saturday night, where it was travelling to Sedgley, and found seven women inside – all aged in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
They all claimed to be from the same household, but it soon became clear this was not the case.
