A group of eight people were arrested in Spain for allegedly planning a drug-fueled orgy in the midst of a devastating coronavirus outbreak that has claimed thousands of lives.

According to the Sun and the New York Post, police in Spain have arrested eight people after someone who had participated in planning the orgy but had second thoughts alerted the cops. Up to 20 people were set to attend the sex party at an apartment in Barcelona, where police reportedly found a stash of drugs including ecstasy and cocaine.

As Reuters reports, more than 4,000 people have died in Spain due to the virus that causes COVID-19. 

The suspects accused of organizing the orgy have not yet been identified, and it is unclear if they are currently in custody.
