Cant defend these blokes... Fair dinkum!
he was warned TWICE before.
Revealed: Storm star’s Covid camping trip was his THIRD lockdown breach
NRL star Josh Addo-Carr was reportedly warned twice in 11 days for violating COVID-19 rules before he was busted going on a camping trip with Latrell Mitchell.
The Storm winger along with Rabbitohs star Latrell Mitchell and Knights player Tyronne Roberts-Davis were fined $1000 by police for breaching social distancing protocols on a weekend trip to Taree.
Photos and videos of the camping trip were posted on Addo-Carr’s Instagram account, showing the NRL players and nine other friends blatantly flouting coronavirus guidelines.
However, this breach was not the first by the Storm flyer.
The Daily Telegraph reported that Addo-Carr was given formal warnings by police for breaching COVID-19 protocols on April 3 and April 14.
Both offences occurred in the Sydney suburb of Glebe when the rugby league star was sitting in a car without a valid excuse for being outside.
Addo-Carr was also warned over an unrelated driving offence on April 16.
Adding to his problems, Addo-Carr is now being investigated over his use of firearms while on Mitchell’s property.
Detectives are reportedly investigating Addo-Carr for allegedly firing a shotgun despite not holding a firearms licence.
That charge carries a maximum of five years in jail.
Mitchell, who is the registered owner of several weapons, is being investigated under section 39 of the NSW Firearms Act (1996) for allegedly not taking precautions that the shotgun did not come into the possession of a person not authorised to possess it.
That charge has a maximum penalty of fines of thousands of dollars or two years in jail.
NRL boss Peter V’landys is working with the integrity unit to determine what penalties head office should hand out.
All three players are facing suspensions of up to a month, or possibly two weeks combined with heavy fines.
“The players will be afforded due process and natural justice,” V’landys said.
“However this is a serious matter.”
