Two people arrested in Nanango will face charges after allegedly lying on their border entry passes.<\/p>\n

The 68-year-old woman and 63-year-old man\u00a0were arrested on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The pair allegedly crossed the border at Goondiwindi on July 27 before heading to Nanango.<\/p>\n

They were directed into mandatory hotel quarantine on Tuesday, not in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

Results of coronavirus testing are not yet available.<\/p>\n

The pair are due to appear in Richlands Magistrates Court on August 19.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a media conference in Brisbane on Monday, Deputy Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said the pair had been issued with notices to appear in court.<\/p>\n

“These are very serious offences indeed,” the Deputy Commissioner said.<\/p>\n
