Park wardens in Snowdonia are reportedly being abused by visitors who are travelling to the Welsh beauty spot from Tier 4 areas despite pleas to stay away.
Non-essential travel in Wales is banned and any exercise has to start as soon as a person leaves their house.
And breaking Covid lockdown rules can end with a £60, which increases to £120 for a second offence.
North Wales Police said its officers have been turning people, some who have come from as far as Milton Keynes in London, away who are trying to walk up the mountain.
