Lincolnshire Police, whose northerly border adjoins Brigg, is one of only three forces across the country to issue Coronavirus emergency fines for not wearing face masks in public as required by the new law, figures show.
Lincolnshire Police - covering an area stretching from Stamford to Bigby High Road and Westrum Lane, Brigg - has issued one £100 fine.
British Transport Police (responsible for trains and railway stations) and the Lancashire Constabulary are the only other forces to impose monetary penalties.
Reboot Digital, which has furnished Brigg Blog with the statistics, submitted Freedom of Information requests to 40 police forces in England on August 19. It says 34 responded while six have yet to do so.
