So what's the real crime here?

Four men charged with breaking into an upmarket Darwin restaurant to steal alcohol amid a COVID-19 lockdown will also be slapped with thousands of dollars in fines for not wearing face masks. 

Northern Territory police were alerted at 1.20am Tuesday that Pee Wee's at the Point had been broken into and four men had fled the scene on foot after allegedly stealing the drinks. 

Officers arrested the group a short time later. Detectives reviewed CCTV and found the men had breached the NT's Emergency Declaration, which mandates mask-wearing.

So if they'd worn masks, they'd probably have gotten probation?

    The cops wouldn't have tried very hard to catch them if they'd worn masks.
    Stealing is one thing, but going against the diktats of their betters is just beyond the pale.

    They'd have been harder to ID with masks.....
