NSW Police issued a run-down of the penalty infringement notices issued on Saturday.
About 10.50am on Friday, a 30-year-old man attended Albury Police Station and told police he wanted to "hang out".
He was advised to return home due to the current COVID-19 restrictions.
A short time later, the man remained outside the station and was given a move-on direction.
About 11.10am the same day, police spoke to the man for a third time outside the station and during a search, they found a pair of scissors in his jumper.
He was issued with a $1000 penalty infringement notice, having ignored their direction to return home.
Since 17 March 2020, police have issued 38 Court Attendance Notices, and 295 PINs for breaches of the Public Health Act.
