A man was hit with an eye-watering £2,000 fine for taking off his face mask in B&M because he felt sick.
Christopher O'Toole entered the B&M store at the retail park in Prescot on February 27 wearing a mask - but he said he felt sick so briefly took off his mask as he went to leave the shop.
As he was leaving the shop Mr O'Toole was approached by police officers who took his name for not wearing a mask inside the shop.
