A Melbourne man who claimed he couldn’t find a petrol station within 5km of his home has been fined after driving almost 50km to fill up.
Police said they stopped the man at a checkpoint in Rosebud where he said he had travelled from Cranbourne and was in the area to get petrol.
The man was hit with a $1652 fine for breaching the chief health officer’s restrictions after he failed to stay within 5km of his home to purchase essential supplies.
Another man chasing some “nice weather” was also intercepted at a vehicle checkpoint near Frankston on Sunday after driving almost 50km to get there.
He told police he had travelled from Doncaster in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs where there weren’t “any nice parks” and “he wanted to go to one because of the nice weather”.
