Tue, 28 Apr 2020

A man has been fined £700 for breaking emergency lockdown laws on the Isle of Man.

Steven England pleaded guilty to spending time with someone not from the same household.

Mr England was found hiding under a duvet in a property in Douglas by officers on Monday.

Police had previously warned the 26-year-old for breaching emergency laws.

He also pleaded guilty to an unrelated charge of driving without due care and attention following an incident in January this year.

He was fined £300 and ordered to pay £175 in costs.
