POLICE made a couple who had travelled over 150 miles to a north Cotswold village return home on Tuesday.
The tourists had travelled from Ormskirk in west Lancashire after the PM announced a new national lockdown.
Officers were patrolling tourist hotspots like Bourton, Stow and the Slaughters, turning almost 20 groups of people away.
In a tweet Cotswold police said:
Today officers spent time in villages most likely to attract tourists from other areas across the country. We engaged with over 20 groups in their vehicles and turned most away. One couple had traveled over 150 miles from Ormskirk! #Charlie9251 #Pete2431 pic.twitter.com/xL8htvGHTY
