In the past 24 hours, three people have been issued with Penalty Infringement Notices (PINs) under the Public Health Act 2010 (NSW) COVID-19.
Yesterday’s PINs:
- Officers from Sydney City Police Area Command were patrolling Sydney’s CBD when they stopped a vehicle on George Street about 1am yesterday (Sunday 10 May 2020). Police spoke with the 19-year-old female driver and three passengers. The Greenacre woman told police the group had just wanted to get out of the house but could not provide a reason for being in the city. When checks revealed she had previously been warned for being out in a group and without a reasonable excuse, she was issued a $1000 PIN. Her passengers each received warnings.
- About 6.30pm, officers from Blacktown Police Area Command were patrolling Seven Hills, when they observed two men sitting and drinking on Boomerang Place. Police spoke with the men about breaching Ministerial Directions, with neither able to provide a reason for being there and stating to just give them a fine because they weren’t going to pay it. Checks revealed both men – aged 39 and 43 – had previously been warned for doing the same thing. They were each issued $1000 PINs.
Anyone who has information regarding individuals or businesses in contravention of a COVID-19-related ministerial direction is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or . Information is treated in strict confidence.
