A Victorian man has been charged over allegedly attempting to bribe a police officer at the New South Wales (NSW) southern border. Travel across the border is currently only by permit due to the extreme outbreak of the CCP virus in parts of the state’s capital, Melbourne.

Just before 2 p.m. on Friday, police stopped the man in his vehicle at the Barmah Bridge checkpoint and asked for his border crossing permit.
