Police forces across the country are warning that anyone found breaking coronavirus restrictions on Christmas Day could be hit with a fine.
Police chiefs have said patrols will be looking for anyone breaching guidance – and dishing out penalties.
In North Wales, which is currently under tier 4 restrictions – meaning people must stay at home on 25 December – there will be road patrol with officers stopping vehicles and asking reasons for travel.
Temporary assistant chief constable Nigel Harrison, of North Wales Police, said: “Throughout the festive period we will be undertaking high visibility patrols and will also be making checks on the reasons people are travelling.”
Top brass in Durham, Surrey, Cheshire, Derbyshire and Kent were all among those who also told people the season of goodwill would not be extended to those bending the laws over the holiday period.
