Three Penalty Infringement Notices (PINs) have been issued since the last COVID-19 update.
– Around 4.40pm last Friday (14 August 2020), police stopped a vehicle in Coomealla and spoke with the 43-year-old male driver and 38-year-old male passenger, who were both from Mildura. The pair could not provide a reasonable excuse for being in NSW and, following inquiries, they were each issued with $1000 PINs on Tuesday (18 August 2020).
– About 12.45pm on Wednesday (19 August 2020), police saw a vehicle with Victorian registration plates parked at a recycling site in Corowa. Officers spoke with a 68-year-old man, who produced a permit allowing him to enter NSW for work purposes only. Checks revealed his permit had been obtained to carry out work at an address he had only attended once over a month ago, with no plans made to conduct any further work at the address. He was issued with a $1000 PIN and instructed to return to Victoria.
– About 6.20pm yesterday (Thursday 20 August 2020), police stopped a car in Broken Hill and spoke with the 23-year-old female driver. Officers discovered she was meant to be self-isolating at a Dareton address, after entering NSW from Victoria on Tuesday. She was handed a $1000 PIN.
