A Kent couple caught sleeping in the car on a “mini break” to Cornwall have been slapped with a penalty notice and had their car seized.
A police officer caught the couple flouting lockdown restrictions on a patrol – and they were found to be driving without insurance and a driving licence.
The car was seized by Devon and Cornwall Police and the tourists were issued with two fixed penalty notices, reports Cornwall Live.
Police were given powers at the end of March to issue fines to those caught flouting stay-at-home rules. People can end up in court if the fines are unpaid.
