A woman has been issued with a fixed penalty notice for breaching Coronavirus regulations following an alleged disturbance this week where police were called to Penally’s railway station car park late at night during Wales’ fire-break lockdown.

Residents living in the locality contacted the police on Wednesday evening after reporting ‘anti-social behaviour’ and ‘loud disturbances’ occurring at the location late at night.

A spokesperson for Dyfed-Powys Police told the Observer: “At approximately 11.30 pm on Wednesday, November 4, police were called to Penally Railway Station to reports of an alleged disturbance at the location.

“Officers attended, and did not find any signs of a disturbance, but there was a small number of men from Penally Asylum Accommodation Centre and a woman at the location – who was providing them with shoes and coats.

“The woman was issued with a breach of Coronavirus regulations fixed penalty notice for completing a non-essential journey.

“The following day at about 8.30 am (November 5), police were made aware that a car was blocking the entrance to Penally Railway Station car park. The car was causing an obstruction, and officers attended to speak to the owner of the car. The owner stated that they were concerned and distressed about the car park being used in an anti-social manner at night, and that one such incident had occurred the previous evening.

“Officers established this was a civil matter, and advised the owners of the car park of the situation. The car was removed at some stage during the day, but had been replaced with bollards.

“Officers who were out on patrol in the area removed the bollards due to the fact that car park users were resorting to parking cars along the verge of the B4319 – which was making pedestrian access difficult and vehicular movements dangerous. There was no further police action required following this,” they added.
