Melbourne Man Clocks Up 24 Fines for Breaching Virus Restrictions

Cops also busted a five-year-old ‘s birthday party in the Gippsland area and found twenty people, including twelve adults and eight kids, celebrating inside.

Officers attended Saturday night at the Latrobe house, putting a fine on the woman who arranged the gathering.

Seven teenagers who held a house party in Warrnambool and a Hawthorn woman found parking in St Kilda have also been charged by police.

She had told the officer that she was searching for a grocery store to buy toilet paper but was lost.

For those who flouted stage 4 restrictions after thousands flocked outside yesterday to enjoy the mild winter weather, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews had a stern message for the earlier.

“Let’s not make any choices that put at risk all of the progress we have made and could render all of the sacrifice we have made it meaningless. We do not want that. No day at the beach is worth that,” he said.

Shared online videos and photographs showed that several people gathered in groups, some wearing their face masks around their heads.
