Cops in a Scots seaside town say they have issued 10 fines to lockdown rule flouters.

Police in Oban have issued a warning saying it was “disappointing” how many fines had been issued.

They reminded Scots that travelling from a tier four area to a tier two area for a holiday was not permitted under the current coronavirus guidelines.

They tweeted: “Disappointing to note that 10 FPN tickets have been issued over the weekend for breach of #Covid19 travel regulations.

“You cannot travel from tier 4 to tier 2 for a holiday. #FollowTheRules”.

Oban, as part of Argyll and Bute local authority area, is in tier two of the five-part restriction system.

In Tier two areas, bars and restaurants can open but alcoholic drinks can only be served with the purchase of a main meal.

All venues have a curfew of 8pm indoors and 10.30pm outdoors.
