Three people from Birkenhead have been reported for breaching coronavirus legislation after travelling to climb Snowdon. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

At 5.30pm yesterday evening officers approached the trio who decided to come to North Wales as they were ‘bored’. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Two of them were from the same household and the third was a friend they’d picked up. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

They’d already been approached earlier in the day by a member of the Snowdon warden team but ignored the advice and scaled the mountain anyway. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Members of the North Wales Police Road’s Policing Unit said: “We know we have beautiful mountains and stunning scenery but now is not the time to come for a walk. It will all still be here once this strange period is over.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
