Officers visited Boss Gym in Brampton Road on the Harvington Business Park shortly before 1pm and are reported to have found four people inside – in an alleged breach of Covid-19 restrictions, which prevent non-essential businesses from opening.

One man has been driven away in a police car.

Officers executed a warrant at the premises in relation to fraud and allegations that Covid-19 grant support money had been claimed from Eastbourne council while the gym business remained open.

Further details are expected to be released later.
