NT POLICE have issued seven more people with infringement notices for breaching quarantine over the weekend - including two men who have been caught in breach before.

A 29-year-old man from Howard Springs, who was previously issued with an infringement on June 20, was again fined after police couldn’t find him at his home during a compliance check at the weekend.

A 25-year-old Driver resident was also absent from his home during a compliance check, and police made multiple attempts to locate and contact him.

Police found he had been purposely avoiding them and issued him with his second infringement notice.
