Amberg (dpa / lby) - The nightly trip to the cigarette machine could cost a man and a woman from Amberg in Upper Palatinate each 500 euros.
At the weekend, police officers met the couple on the street after 9 p.m., the police said on Monday.
According to their own statements, they wanted to get cigarettes.
But this is not a valid reason to leave your apartment in the evening, it said.
The two have therefore violated the curfew and have to expect a high fine.
By chance, the Amberg police also came across a man on Saturday who violated the current contact restrictions.
An officer called the 42-year-old to make an appointment for a police questioning.
The police officer heard several people in the background who were apparently in a celebratory mood.
A patrol stopped by the man and found him in his apartment with three friends who all belong to different households.
A maximum of five people from two households are currently allowed to meet.
The four celebrants will now receive fines of up to 250 euros each.
