Queensland police have fined 58 people for breaching tough new coronavirus-related movement restrictions at a private car rally in Brisbane’s south.

Police say around 150 cars and a large group of people were gathered in a warehouse carpark on Brickworks Place at Rochedale around 10pm on Saturday night.

Because they were not socially distancing and the event was not considered an appropriate reason for people to be out of their houses, officers fined multiple people.

Some of the drivers attempted to drive off when officers arrived but many cars became bogged in nearby fields, police said.
