Officers dispersed the party, which took place in Southsea at 4.30am this morning and issued a warning on social media to the public about following the rules.
Gatherings of more than six people were banned last across England with the government giving police the power to enforce the new law through a £100 fine, doubling up to a maximum of £3,200.
