Person arrested for breaking social distancing rules

One person has been arrested and another formally reported for not following self-isolation laws.

The police took to their official Twitter - TweetbeatIOM earlier today to confirm the news.

They say when dealing with Covid issues officers engage, explain, encourage with enforcement as the last option.

Authorities say although the vast majority of the Public understand the seriousness of the situation we are in, some are quite simply not listening to the messages.

As a result in the last 24 hours the force has arrested one person and formally reported another for failing to follow the isolation/self distancing laws. 

Legislation introduced under the Emergency Powers Act can see penalties of up to £10,000 or three months in prison for those breaking rules on social distancing and self-isolation.
