A Watford man was taken to court after being “caught red handed” illegally dumping environmentally hazardous building waste.
Riberio, of Sleaford Green, was fined £2,000 and ordered to pay £400 in clean-up and prosecution costs. In total, he had to pay £2,590 including a £190 victim surcharge.Buckinghamshire councillor Jilly Jordan said: “Fly-tipping is a serious criminal act that causes chronic harm to our environment and communities.
“Buckinghamshire Council has a firm position on fly-tipping - it is against the law, not acceptable, and offenders will face ‘zero tolerance’ consequences.“This fly-tipper was caught on CCTV, witnessed by a member of the public, and evidence found at the scene also helped identify the offender. “This case serves as a reminder that Buckinghamshire Council will upturn every stone seeking to detect and apprehend dumping offenders.”
