Ambulance officers noticed two people ordering around 20 KFC meals at 1.30am, with their car's registration leading police to a townhouse where there were 16 people 'hiding out the back'.

People in metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire can be fined $1652 if they are caught outside their homes for reasons other than work, exercise, purchasing essential items, receiving healthcare or caregiving requirements.

Commissioner Patton said there were 30 Australian Defence Forces staff assisting at those checkpoints. "It is, however, important for people to adhere to the limit of two people and to practise physical distancing," a Health Department spokeswoman said on Friday.In another incident on Friday morning, a Docklands couple were turned away from a checkpoint at Lang Lang at 1.30am, as they tried to drive to a Phillip Island holiday house.

Police also responded to a number of noise complaints in the Melbourne CBD which led to fines. Seven people were found drinking together at a Sutherland Street apartment building, with five fined on the spot and two other fines expected to be issued.

$1 per calorie. A punishment fitting the crime.

But family celebrations ☝️ in the northern suburbs leading to the spread of the virus were ok - no fines 🤷🏻‍♂️

I haven't had KFC since 1989. Must have been some party...

Shame shame shame. On those that busted them. Supplement ICU beds and open up the State. Isolation is not the way forward. Look at Sweden

16 ethnics no doubt.

20kfc I usually have 20 KFC before I masterbate, but on this time I got SWATTED by dozens of police men I creamed on their faces prematurely..I expected policewomen ..this is so gross.

Not ridiculous. We need to comply with the stage 3 regulations in everyone's interests.

Who gave the cops this right, what is wrong with you stupid pple, there is no need for this mindless crap.

I guess it's a relief people haven't started panic buying popcorn chicken and Zinger meals.

Bucketloads of KFC fines!

Great bust.......How we going with home invasions and car jackings?

And people say this spike is Dan Andrew’s fault!!

Hiding? in a box?

$10 for 5 small shitty original tenders should be a crime within itself!!!💰💲🐓🐔

Operation Sentinel. What is this. The Matrix?
