A woman was caught travelling from Norfolk to Gosport to visit her daughter in what police have described as a "blatant breach" of restrictions. 

She was tracked down in Bridgemary last night by officer from Gosport police.

In a statement on social media, police said they can "understand people wanting to see their loved ones" but people should still "adhere to regulations" and "save lives."

On Facebook, Gosport Police said: "Within the last hour, two of our officers have attended an address in Bridgemary and reported a female for summons.

"The summons relates to a fixed penalty notice for breaching Covid-19 regulations."

"The female in question had travelled from Norfolk to visit her daughter.

"As much as we totally understand people wanting to see their loved ones (our officers are no different in their frustration at not being able to see their family members), the restrictions are in place for a reason, and that reason is to protect the NHS and save lives.

"Please continue to adhere to the regulations and help us get through this together. Blatant breaches, such as the one above, will not be tolerated and will be dealt with through enforcement."
