The men had travelled up in three separate vehicles on Monday, the day Boris Johnson announced Britain's third lockdown.

But they were caught by police after one driver flipped his car on the A6013 near Bamford following a day in the Peaks.

The group, from Harrow, who were starting their three-hour journey home, were each handed £200 penalties for travelling between Tier 4 areas.

The group were visiting the Peak District from London

Derbyshire Police also seized one of the three vehicles due to it being uninsured and sent its owner home on a train.

The driver of the car which ended up on its roof was treated by paramedics at the scene for minor injuries.

Sharing photos of the crashed car, Buxton Police wrote: "Last night a group of 11 came up from Harrow (London) In three cars.

"One crashed. One car seized due to driver not being insured and was sent home on the train. All 11 will now be getting a fixed penalty notice of £200."

Angry residents took to social media with many saying the area had been heaving with tourists travelling from across the country.

Jenny Fletcher said: "My partner is the manager at a petrol station just outside Buxton. Got people from all over the country coming in every day.

"Said today was really busy. Since when is a can of pop an essential item? Stay at home!"

Aaron Banks commented: "You would not think we were in the grip of a pandemic; our area has been busier than ever.

"I don't get the moronic attitude of people just ignoring a killer virus. What is wrong with people?"
