A man in his 30s has been fined NOK 15,000. He told police he had to travel into Sweden to shop for personal reasons, and broke the quarantine rules afterwards.

The man is a resident of Sandefjord, but was apprehended on Saturday by police in the neighboring town of Tønsberg after a tip that he had been shopping in Sweden two days earlier, writes Tønsbergs Blad.

The man admitted to trading and explained to the police that he had to shop in Sweden for personal reasons. He is now being reported for violating the quarantine rules and has been fined NOK 15,000.

He has not accepted the fine.
