AT LEAST a dozen have been fined by the Wiltshire courts since last year for breaching the coronavirus rules.

They include a group caught boozing in a Penhill pub and a Swindon man who flounced around a garage when he was asked by a police officer to wear a mask or leave the service station.

Still more have had cases against them dismissed – like the teen accused of holding a house party – or discontinued, as they faced more serious charges.

We’ve pulled together a list of those fined since last November.
