Cedrick Louedec (51) and Margaret Van Den Heever (41) appeared before Guernsey’s Magistrate’s Court yesterday, with each receiving a £5,000 fine.
Louedec travelled to Guernsey from France on 11 August and was required to self-isolate for 14-days. Louedec had a translator in Court and reportedly did not speak English or understand the rules.
He had been encouraged by Van den Heever, a Guernsey resident, to go out that same day and again the next morning, when they are reported to have travelled on a public bus service.
Louedec was fined £5,000 combined for the two breaches. He has to pay £2,000 towards that before being released from custody.
