Dominic Cummings was reported to police tonight for an alleged breach of lockdown as an ex-chief constable accused him of ‘selfishly’ ignoring the rules - and risking lives.
Mike Barton, who retired from the top job with Durham Police last year, warned that in driving almost 260 miles North when his wife was showing signs of infection, Mr Cummings was ignoring vital safety advice.
His attack came as Robin Lees, 71, reported Cummings for a suspected breach of lockdown. The retired teacher believes he spotted him out in Barnard Castle, Co Durham on April 12.
In his report to Durham Police he describes the possible sighting of Cummings, his wife and child approaching a grey Range Rover parked on the Sills between Ullathorne Rise and Gill Lane
