Krispy Kreme postpones free doughnut giveaway following police scrutiny

Krispy Kreme has put its promotional campaign on hold after crowds appeared to flout social distancing recommendations.

Earlier this week, the doughnut brand was offering a dozen free doughnuts to anyone who had a birthday between 13 March and 13 July. NSW Police confirmed that various divisions of its operation, including general duties, traffic control and riot squad, had been called to a number of locations to monitor growing crowds. A store in Melbourne was forced to close.
