Police monitored the A31 for three hours on Saturday, and among the 300 drivers inspected, 37 were breaching Covid-19 travel restrictions.

According to Lorraine media outlets, offenders crossed the borders to restock on fuel and cigarettes despite the ongoing lockdown and travel restrictions.

Commissioner Bordereau explained to the Républicain Lorrain that the roads were significantly quieter due to the restrictions with 50% fewer drivers on the streets.
