Enforce lockdown measures with potentially bigger fine for non essential shopers
Enforce the advice on going out only for essential shopping by checking people are going to the shops for big shops rather than few items many times of the day. This could be random check outside food shops by police force, to advise and eventually fine people who do no respect the guidelines.
NHS gets pressure on hospital admission, running out of PPE, people dying, we need to protect the population from people not respecting the guidelines.
As supermarket worker, I can see almost every time the same shoppers coming for only a 4 pack beer, or just few tins...and even seen a customer who came simply to exchange some mouldy raspberries! Are those trips really essential shopping?
Please give police and other forces to check more on shoppers and fine people not respecting guidelines

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government is responsible for setting regulations in relation to the coronavirus lockdown, and associated penalties, but enforcing these is a matter for the police and courts, not the Government or House of Commons.
Since you started your petition the Government has increased the penalties for breaking the law or refusing to follow a police direction: www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-outbreak-faqs-what-you-can-and-cant-do/coronavirus-outbreak-faqs-what-you-can-and-cant-do#enforcement
