Two off-duty cops have been fined for partying on the weekend after one was spotted intoxicated on a nearby street and had to be taken to hospital.
NSW Police said in a statement that officers were patrolling in the Sydney CBD at about 8.30pm on Saturday when they “observed a woman who appeared to be intoxicated” being assisted by a man on King St.
Police "conducted further inquiries" and established that the woman and her 31-year-old companion "had been at a nearby apartment at a social gathering". All five were slapped with $1000 penalty infringement notices this morning "for failing to comply with noticed direction under the Public Health Act 2010".
