Dedicated coronavirus police patrols are being put on across Devon and Cornwall to stop people breaching the new tier system from Wednesday.
Devon and Cornwall Police have confirmed "up to 10 additional dedicated double-crewed units" will be made available across both counties whose "sole purpose will be to respond to COVID-related matters".
A force spokesman told Sky News the extra patrol cars are for "public engagement and reassurance".
Cornwall is the only area of mainland England going into Tier 1 on 2 December, which means residents can mix with other households indoors and drink in pubs without ordering a "substantial meal".
But despite them sharing the same police force, Devon will be placed in Tier 2, which means stricter rules around pubs, restaurants and socialising indoors.
Under the new tier system, it would be illegal to travel to an area in a lower tier to take advantage of lighter restrictions.
News of the patrols come after reports that people living in England tried to cross the border to go shopping and visit family across the border in Wales during lockdown.
