A couple who drove about 300 miles (482 km) for a "mini-break" at a Cornish beach amid the lockdown have been fined by police and had their car seized.

The pair, who are from Kent, were found asleep in the car in Falmouth, a Devon and Cornwall police officer said on Twitter

The driver had no driving licence or insurance, the PC said.

Supt Adrian Leisk from the force said the case sent an important message to lockdown rule-breakers.
