Party buses investigated for protocol breaches
Police are investigating potential public health order breaches after being called to two separate incidents involving party buses on Saturday night.
A party bus operator who drove 43 people from Penrith to Sydney's CBD on Saturday has been fined for breaching restrictions.
Police were called to Wheat Road near Darling Harbour at 11.15pm on Saturday night due to"concerns about the way a bus was being driven".
The 25-year-old driver was given a $5000 penalty infringement notice and a 17-year-old passenger was arrested after a drug dog was brought on board and the girl was allegedly found with cocaine.
In a statement,NSW Police said officers also spoke to the driver about several underage passengers allegedly being intoxicated.
Police are separately investigating another party bus incident in northern Sydney on Saturday night.
Police were called to Thornleigh about 11.30pm following reports of an alleged assault on board and found about 40 young people,aged between 16 and 18,were on the bus.
"The NSW Police Force is working with NSW Health and Transport for NSW to determine whether there have been any breaches of current Public Health Orders,"a NSW Police spokesperson said.
A NSW Health spokesperson said charter bus operators,like all businesses,were obliged to practice safety measures including"appropriate hygiene,physical distancing measures and wearing of masks where social distancing cannot be assured."

The security guard last attended the court on Wednesday,August 12. The courthouse was cleaned on Sunday after the department learned of the positive test on Saturday.
Anyone who visited these venues and develops COVID-19 symptoms should get tested and isolate immediately,NSW Health said.

The new cases bring the state's total COVID-19 case count to 3761.
Of those,there are 119 people being treated by NSW Health,including seven who are in intensive care units,five of whom are ventilated.
About 88 per cent of cases are being treated outside hospitals,Mr McAnulty said. Nearly 24,100 tests were conducted across the state on Saturday.
"COVID-19 continues to circulate in the community so maintaining very high rates of testing is really important so we urge anyone with even the mildest symptoms to come forward for testing,"Dr McAnulty said.
The number of new locally acquired cases has been below 10 for the past four days,the first time this has happened since July 18.
