Bury St Edmunds duo fined for filming music video
They'd travelled to North West Norfolk
Two people have been fined for breaking lockdown rules, by heading to Hunstanton in North West Norfolk from Bury St Edmunds.
The men were caught by police, wanting to shoot a music video.
T/Superintendent Nathan Clark from Norfolk Police said:
"The Prime Minister's announcement earlier this week on the roadmap out of lockdown offered new confidence. Optimism that the end of widespread restrictions and these testing times is finally in sight.
"And, while talk of being restriction free from 21 June is hugely welcomed and come as a relief to many, there's action we must continue to take to make sure we get there. Communities in Norfolk have done a great job sticking to the rules, which is reflected in the lowering infection rates, and it's really important we continue to follow the rules and guidelines to make sure it stays that way. Many of the decisions made throughout this pandemic have been subject to widespread debate and commentary and this latest announcement is no different.
"It is clear that many people have strong views about the continuation of lockdown at a time when infection rates in our county and across the country continue to fall. It is important though to remember that we are still in a national lockdown and the 'stay at home' rules still apply. The roadmap is gradual, with greater freedoms given step-by-step alongside the continued vaccination roll-out with the overall aim of keeping infection rates as low as possible while returning to some degree of normality. It's important we all continue to play our part in this process to make sure things continue to move in the right direction…. no one wants yo-yo lockdowns."
