A young driver from Gloucester and her two passengers heading to the beach at Aberystwyth were sent home by police after the car was pulled over for having a noisy exhaust.
Officers in Ceredigion initially stopped the silver Ford Fiesta for having a loud exhaust but immediately realised the three occupants were not local.
The female driver had driven from Gloucester and picked up two friends in Hereford on the way to the Ceredigion coast.
All three were reported for breaching lockdown rules and were sent back home by police on Monday, April 27.
Dyfed Powys Police tweeted: "Vehicle stopped due to loud exhaust. Turns out a road trip to the seaside from Gloucester for the young driver and her two passengers she's picked up from Hereford.
"Reported for all matters for three of them and escorted away."
