The 30-year-old driver, and passengers, aged 26 and 28, attempted to enter NSW through the Moama checkpoint about 9.40am on Tuesday, September 15.

However, they were unable to produce a valid permit and directed to return to Victoria.

The passengers were also fined $1000 for failing to comply with noticed direction in relation to section 7/8/9 – COVID-19.
