Fresh on the heels of
last years prosecution of a fly tipper
we have caught someone else.
Yanley Lane has always been a hot spot for fly tippers as one of the first quiet lanes fly tippers find having left Bristol. Last year the council prosecuted someone for the first time in years, this additional prosecution shows that we will not stop.
In order to catch more people a special camera was purchased last year, it is being hidden in bushes and hedges near sites often used for fly tipping.
Lee Stuart Docherty was identified as the registered keeper of vehicle that was captured dumping cardboard, children's toys, an umbrella, plastic boxes, lawnmower parts, and black bags of waste. He was invited to attend a voluntary interview under caution to answer questions but failed to attend. He was subsequently arrested. On 2 February.
After entering a guilty plea at Bristol Magistrates Court Mr Docherty was ordered to pay a £480 fine, a victim surcharge of £48, and ordered to pay costs of £605.
