About 1am on Saturday, October 10, officers attached to Operation Border Closure stopped a Holden Commodore at the Barham checkpoint and spoke with the 50-year-old female driver, who was unable to produce a permit to enter NSW.
During a search of the vehicle, police found a 60-year-old woman in the boot of the car.
Both women were issued with $1000 fines for failing to comply notice/direction in relation to section 7/8/9 COVID-19.
The older woman was also charged with a breach of bail and issued a traffic infringement notice for traveling in/on boot of motor vehicle.
She is next due to appear at Deniliquin Local Court on November 3.
Police are also reminding the community that restrictions still apply for travel from Victoria into NSW, and exempt residents must use specific routes to be granted entry at the southern border.
Under a new exemptions issued by the NSW Government on Friday, returning NSW residents and residents of Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, the ACT and Northern Territory may enter NSW at one designated checkpoint without a permit and only if they meet certain criteria.
These residents will only be granted entry at the George Caffey Bridge on the Sturt Highway at Mildura.
In addition, they must not have been in Victoria in the previous 14 days, other than travelling on the Sturt Hwy for the purpose of getting to or from NSW and South Australia.
