A Glasgow man was caught "unaware" of Covid-19 restrictions as he was stopped by police making 260-mile trip from Hull on Saturday.
The man was stopped on the A66 in the Eden district of Cumbria as he travelled home from an 11 day stay with his girlfriend in the English city.
Eden Police officers announced the man, who they claimed had been "apparently unaware of Covid-19 measures", was reported for breaching travel restrictions.

While lockdown restrictions had been gradually eased from Friday, the Scottish government's advice remains to avoid travelling further than five miles.
A tweet by the force reads: "Male stopped by the Proactive Team on #A66 at Appleby on his way home to Glasgow after an 11 day stay at his girlfriends parents house in Hull.
"Apparently unaware of #COVID19 measures yet he’s furloughed Reported for breaching travel restrictions. #Extra25"
