Police have 'escorted' an English family out of a Welsh county after they were spotted driving across the border during the travel ban.
Dyfed-Powys Police officers stopped the family from Sussex in the early hours of Friday morning on the A40 near Whitland in Carmarthenshire.
Police said the family had travelled for over five hours for a non-essential reason, despite being aware of the current national lockdown in Wales.
They said the family was "suitably advised and escorted" from the county.
From October 16, Welsh Government introduced new restrictions on people from areas of the UK with high rates of Covid-19 coming to Wales without a reasonable excuse.
First Minister Mark Drakeford said at the time that the measure was to "prevent people who live in areas where there are higher Covid infection rates across the UK from travelling to Wales and bringing the virus with them."
However, the decision has been criticised by some, including Mark Bleasdale, the Welsh leader of the Police Federation of England and Wales, who said the ban was "unenforceable because of the difficulty of identifying where people are coming from and where they are going to."
Wales is currently in a fire-break lockdown until November 9, meaning everyone has been asked to stay home and to only undertake essential travel.
