Police prevented a group of Cheshire teenagers from climbing a North Wales mountain in the dark, wearing trainers.
The group of five blocking rule breakers, which included four teenagers, traveled 70 miles from Ellesmere Harbor to climb Tryfan in Snowdonia.
However, on their way to Ogwen Cottage in Snowdonia, special agents stopped the group.
Officers said the group was about to climb the mountain in slippers and also when it was dark.
Later, the police decided to report the group for disobeying lockdown regulations, reports North Wales Live.
A statement posted on the North Wales Police Special Police Facebook page read: “Our team continues to find drivers traveling in violation of COVID regulations.
“Tonight our South Carolina road safety unit reported that 5 people, including 4 teenagers, had traveled from Ellesmere Harbor to Snowdonia’s Ogwen Cottage to climb Tryfan in the dark in slippers.”
Welsh Police Chief Arfon Jones says a tough new approach is essential to take down the rule breakers who are putting lives at risk.
The North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner came out after ‘selfish’ people continued to flout regulations this weekend after flocking to beautiful places across the region.
By Saturday lunchtime, more than 100 cars were reported to have pulled away from Moel Famau, and some had passed the closed traffic signs.
Meanwhile, in Snowdonia, car parks have been closed to deter visitors.
In Cheshire, the police from the Neston and Parkgate branch of the Cheshire Police also issued a stern warning after hundreds of people visited the Parkgate parade over the weekend.
They said that “showing up for coffee or chips” or sitting on the parade wall was not a reasonable excuse to leave the house.
So far the North Wales police response has been guided by the so-called four E’s, to get involved and find out why the rules were broken, explain the rules and rise up, encourage people to behave responsibly and only drink compliance measures as a last resort. resource.
Regulations allow for fixed fine notices to be issued, with fines ranging from £ 60 to £ 10,000.
