Scarborough Borough Tops COVID Fines in Busiest Week for Police

45% of COVID fines issued in North Yorkshire last week were in the Scarborough Borough.

More fines were issued for breaches of the COVID regulations in North Yorkshire last week than in any week since the start of the latest lockdown.

Once again the biggest number of fines were issued in the Scarborough Borough.

Inspector Mike Walker says it's disappointing.

North Yorkshire Police have issued a further 169 fixed penalty notices for breaches of the Coronavirus regulations since February 2nd, 76 of those were issued in the Scarborough borough, the highest number in the county.

Of those issued in the past week

  • 98 to local residents
  • 71 to visitors
  • 70 for being outside place of living
  • 21 for outdoor gathering
  • 71 for indoor gathering
  • 7 for contravene/obstruct

This takes the total number of FPNs issued since the third national lockdown began on 6 January 2021 to 640.

Mike Walker says the big issues continue to be outdoor and indoor gatherings.

Here are the numbers are broken down by region, gender, age and breach below.
