On September 2, a 32-year-old man from Greenbank in Queensland was intercepted on the Murray Valley Highway in Robinvale at 6.30pm, with Swan Hill police Senior Constable Travis Collier issuing a notice for the man failing to have a border pass.

Six people were issued with infringement notices after breaking COVID-19 restrictions with a party in Swan Hill on September 9, and Snr-Const Collier reported

Swan Hill police Senior Constable Travis Collier said they were caught at a property on Storer Court in Swan Hill around 1.05am on September 9, without a valid reason for being there.

Between September 7 and September 14, police issued eight notices: four for people not wearing masks; three for not having one of the five reasons to leave home; and one for travelling without a border permit.
