Police have arrested two Victorian men after they breached COVID-19 directions.
Just after 9.30pm on Monday 20 July, a Victorian registered Mazda SUV drove through the border checkpoint on the Dukes Highway at Wolseley by allegedly hiding between two trucks before driving off towards Keith.
Patrols located the SUV and both occupants just before 1am on the South Eastern Freeway at Mount Barker. Both were considered non-essential travellers as neither had pre-approval to enter South Australia and the pair were arrested.
The 44-year-old driver from Craigieburn and his 35-year-old passenger from Wollert, were taken to the City Watch House and charged with failing to comply with a direction. They were refused bail and will front the Adelaide Magistrates Court later today.
