The pair were also found to have driven all that way without insurance or a driving licence.

The officer who discovered them posted about the shocking find on her Twitter account, dubbed The Hungry Copper.

She wrote: "Found 2 people sleeping in a car in #Falmouth Checked their details & both live in #Kent & had driven down for a mini break.

"But driver had No Insurance & No Driving Licence! Car seized & 2 #FixedPenaltyNotices issued for Breaching the #Covid_19 #lockdown #restrictions #StayHome."

Devon and Cornwall Police's Supt Adrian Leisk, slammed the pair as he said he "struggles to comprehend the selfishness" of people like this.

He added: "Important message for those still thinking it's a good idea to ignore the Government guidance; you will be fined, you will be turned around (and in this case we'll seize your car) good work Emma."

It comes as coronavirus deaths in the UK yesterday passed the government's best-case scenario of up to 20,000 victims after 711 more people died in England.

The grim milestone was given back in March as a benchmark for Britain "doing very well" in the pandemic.
