Lockdown rulebreakers are fined in our courts

PEOPLE entering shops and takeaways not wearing masks during lockdown and partygoers flouting the rules have been fined thousands of pounds between them in court in Derby.

Others leaving home when not permitted have also received financial penalties.

In June, Derbyshire police praised the public for their behaviour throughout the pandemic, saying restrictions were easing largely down to the efforts of the majority in the county.

It came following the publication of data that showed how many Covid-related fines were issued in the county and every other police authority in England.

It revealed that between March 27 last year, when the pandemic began, to May 15, 2021, more than 1,600 fines were issued by Derbyshire police.

Despite this, more than 40 individuals were dealt with for offending on one day last week by magistrates in Derby.
