Fined for mask refusal
A SHOPPER in Merrylands was one of 11 people fined $200 for breaching health orders related to wearing a face mask last week.
Officers from Cumberland Police Area Command were called to the shopping centre about 9.30am following reports a man was verbally abusing security and staff.
On arrival, police were told the 60-year-old man had allegedly been asked to put a mask on, which he refused to do, and became aggressive before security directed him to leave.
As he was being escorted from the centre, the man allegedly struggled with a security officer before they both fell to the ground. While no injuries were reported, the man asked to be taken to Auburn Hospital, where he again refused to wear a face mask and he was issued with a $200 Penalty Infringement Notices (PINs).
