KUALA LUMPUR (July 11): Police in Melbourne yesterday tailed a large KFC order to catch a group celebrating a birthday in the wee hours of Friday amidst a lockdown in the city.

According to a report by The Guardian of the UK, the β€œinfringement of stay-at-home directions” was β€œdiscovered” when two persons ordered up β€œ20 meals” at the KFC outlet in the suburb of Dandenong at about 1.30am on Friday    

The report stated that the large order β€œraised suspicion among ambulance workers at the store” who then reported the incident to the cops.

Police followed the car and the fried chicken to a townhouse where the culprits β€œthen tried to hide in the backyard, garage and under beds”.

Victoria state police commissioner, Shane Patton told the media that β€œ16 fines for breaching coronavirus restrictions were issued at the party”.

β€œThat is absolutely ridiculous that type of behaviour, and it’s a very expensive night.

β€œThat’s A$26,000 (RM77,000) that birthday party is costing them. That’s a heck of a birthday party to recall and they’ll remember that one for a long time,” said Patton.

According to a Reuters report today, Victoria recorded 216 new cases of Covid-19 in the 24 hours to Saturday morning

Melbourne is in lockdown this week over concerns that community transmission was causing a second wave of the disease.

β€œIt will get worse before it gets better,” Victoria’s Premier Daniel Andrews told the media today.
