Coronavirus Northern Ireland: Police fine two women for breaching Coronavirus Restrictions

Two women have been fined for breaching Coronavirus restrictions, after the Audi they were in allegedly failed to stop for police near the border.

The red Audi A4 was seized near Clady village, Strabane after crossing over from Co Donegal on Monday afternoon.

The car allegedly "made off" in Lifford, when An Garda Síochána attempted to pull it over.

The women, both 21, were fined for breaking the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) Regulations NI 2020.

Chief Inspector Jonny Hunter said: "Police in Strabane seized a vehicle yesterday afternoon which had reportedly failed to stop for An Garda Síochána (AGS) in the Lifford area of County Donegal.

"AGS colleagues had alerted us at 3.10pm that a red Audi A4 had made off from their officers and crossed into Strabane.

"We subsequently located the vehicle, abandoned in the Clady village area, at around 4pm, which we subsequently seized.

"Two females were subsequently issued with two fines for breach of the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) Regulations NI 2020.

"This is a good example of cross border work with our colleagues in An Garda Síochána."
