Wiltshire Police give hundreds of fines to Covid rule-breakers during lockdowns

HUNDREDS of people breaking coronavirus guidelines received fines from Wiltshire Police during months of lockdowns. The force has been giving out fewer fixed penalty notices since restrictions began to ease in April but still emphasised the importance of following safety measures to stop the deadly virus spreading. Figures published by the National Police Chiefs’ Council reveal a total of 762 fixed penalty notices were issued by Wiltshire Police between March 27 last year and May 16 this year. They include 12 fines handed out after April 18 – 98 fewer than the 110 processed in the previous five weeks. Concerned neighbours often alerted officers about illegal house parties which dozens of people attended despite bans on mixing indoors and strict rule-of-six limits on the number of friends allowed to meet up at once.
