North Wales Police have expressed concern that some people are ignoring lockdown rules as the good weather continues across the region.

In a statement the force said that they had experienced an increase in people travelling into and across North Wales in breach of Welsh Government Alert Level 4 restrictions.

On Saturday officers issued numerous fixed penalty tickets and gave firm advice to individuals about their inappropriate travel.

Chief Inspector Jon Aspinall said; “We understand the attraction to the area, especially considering the weather. However, we must ensure that we all adhere to the current travel restrictions. Wales remains under Alert Level lock-down for good reason, to protect the vulnerable and to protect our NHS.”

“Officers have been specifically designated to patrol across North Wales and will be out again today to enforce the regulations where appropriate. I would urge anyone considering travel in contravention to these restrictions not to do so.”
